Be Considerate
- Ride only where permitted.
- Be courteous to other riders and hikers on the trail.
- Ride on the right side of the trail, especially when meeting another snowmobile.
- When riding downhill, yield to uphill traffic. Uphill traffic may have difficulty starting again after stopping.
- When passing, find a straight stretch of trail, check for oncoming traffic, announce your intention, and pass on the left.
- Slow down when someone is passing you.
- If you meet skiers, horses, hikers on snowshoes, or dog sleds coming from the opposite direction, slow down, pull over, and yield the right-of-way.
- If you stop to talk to others on the trail, be polite and remove your helmet. Also remove your helmet before you go into a gas station, store, or other location where you may have contact with others. A helmet masks your features and can be intimidating.
- Be safe and considerate when you stop along the trail. Never stop side-by-side, in the middle of the trail, at the crest of a hill, or around a corner on the trail. Also, never block an intersection. Remember to shut off your engine.
- Leave gates as you find them.
- Report downed trees and trail maintenance needs to land managers.
- Report illegal riding.
- Carry out what you carry in.
