Riding Your Snowmobile

Riding Downhill

• Use the sitting position.
• Sit as far back on the seat as possible.
• Stay focused and be prepared to stop—losing control is the greatest hazard.
• Do not release the clutch. Keep the clutch engaged to help you slow down. Do this by revving the engine.
• Pump the brake (alternately squeezing and releasing the brake) every few seconds to maintain a slow speed or stop. Applying a hard brake abruptly can cause the snowmobile to slide.
• If you are at the top of a hill and other snowmobiles are coming up, let them pass you before going down.
