Tips for Riding a Snowmobile

Never drink and ride

According to the DNR, even a small amount of alcohol can have an impact on reaction time and perception, which can affect a rider’s ability to respond to unexpected obstacles. Also, alcohol lowers a person’s core body temperature which increases their risk of hypothermia.

Ride with a friend

Choose Clothing Carefully

The DNR advises all riders to wear a helmet and face gear to avoid injuries caused by flying rocks, sticks, and ice. Riders should wear waterproof layers and to make sure there are no loose ends that could catch in moving parts of the machine or get snagged on other objects while riding.
