nowmobiling is a
great way to get
some high intensity adventure or to enjoy
the scenery of a new location during the winter
months. However, some
may feel their snowmobiling experience start to
stagnate after several
years of riding the same
locations over and over.
If you are in this situation, or are looking for a
way to get the most out
of your snowmobiling
experience, here are a
few suggestions that
might help.

location.
For those who live
where it snows, it may be

Try going on a
snowmobiling tour.
Especially if you are on
vacation somewhere,
snowmobile tours are a
great way to find some of
the better places to go
without having to wander around alone for
hours. Guided tours are
also a great way to go at a
casual pace to enjoy the
scenery, without feeling

A snowmobile may be
operated across a public
highway, other than a limited access highway, at
right angles to the highway
for the purpose of getting
from one area to another
when the operation can be
done safely and another vehicle is not crossing the
highway at the same time
in the immediate area. An
operator must bring
his/her snowmobile to a
complete stop before proceeding across the public
highway and must yield the
right-of-way to all oncoming traffic.
Snowmobiles may be
operated on a highway in a
county road system, which
is not normally snowplowed for vehicular traffic; and on the right-of-way
or shoulder when no rightof-way exists on a snowplowed highway in a
county road system, outside the corporate limits of
a city or village, which is
designated and marked for
snowmobile use by the
county road commission
having jurisdiction.

Drunk Driving:
Learn the Facts
By Tim H
Here are some interesting drunk driving
facts that arent commonly discussed but
important to those who
may be potentially facing a DUI or drunk
driving related offense:
Drunk driving and
DUI laws vary from
state to state as do the
potential punishments.
Drunk driving offenses are considered
DUI criminal offenses
in every state across
the nation.
Repeat DUI offenses
are considered from
other states should you
re-offend in a different
state.
Almost every state
in the U.S. shares DUI
information with the
other states when you
attempt to transfer licenses.
Your employer will
most likely find out
about your DUI or
criminal drunk driving
offense.
Your auto insurance is certainly affected by a drunk
driving offense by
being required to carry
whats known as a SR22
insurance policy. The
SR22 is a high risk
type of auto insurance
policy that the state
DMV requires in order
to force the auto insurance company to notify
them (the DMV) should
the auto insurance
company cease to provide coverage for you

Before you buy
If you are in the market for a new snowmobile this season, here are some
things to consider when deciding what machine is right for you.
By Mike Dunn
So you've made the decision to purchase a new
snowmobile. Good for you!
Whether the snowmobile is
for an experienced rider or
someone who is just beginning to discover the joys of
riding the trails, there are
some important factors to
take into consideration during the decision-making
process.
The experience level, age,
and size of the rider are
some of the key factors to
look at. For someone who is
less experienced, particularly for young people, a
lighter snowmobile may be
the way to go. A lighter
snowmobile is generally
easier to turn and maneuver, especially if it has less
weight on the front end.
(Keep in mind, though, that
there is another side to the
equation. You want a
lighter machine for its maneuverability, but at the
same time, you want
enough power in the lighter
machine so that the young
driver can have the confidence necessary to successfully ride through
challenging parts of the
trail.)
The size of the rider
should also play a role in
the decision. While snowmobiles are designed to do
much of the work on the
trails, the physical strength
of the rider does matter
and must be taken into consideration. Someone who is
smaller in stature without
as much upper body
strength simply won't be
able to handle the same
kind of machine as someone who is bigger and
stronger. That's just common sense. Your friendly
neighborhood snowmobile
dealer knows all this and
can help you choose the
snowmobile that is the
right fit.
Another consideration is
the type of terrain you will
be riding. If you are in an
area where there are many
options available for riders,
from groomed trails to
more challenging trails
with twisting, hilly paths,
then you can make your decision according to your
riding preferences. It's always wise to start novice
riders on trails that are
easy to navigate and work
up to harder trails from
there, if possible. Also,

You will only have control of your snowmobile when the skis are
firmly on the ground.
Safety Tips
and Avoiding
Injuries
By John Maxim
There are approximately
13,000 reported injuries due
to snowmobile accidents in
the United States each year.
Additionally, there are over
100 deaths due to snowmobile crashes each year.
Some deaths are the result
of the operator being
pinned under the vehicle,
and over two-fifths of reported deaths are the result
of collisions with trees,
other vehicles, bridges, and
wires. There are also
deaths reported that are
caused by the vehicle entering water or falling
through ice. Here are some
tips that will help ensure
your safety while operating
a snowmobile:
Never ride a snowmobile
alone or across unfamiliar
territory. Having a partner
will provide an extra measure of safety in the event of
a breakdown or accident.
Ride only on established
trails and clearly marked
areas. Avoid water and
frozen lakes. It is impossible to judge the thickness
or depth of ice.
Watch the trail in front of
you very closely. There
could be hidden rocks,
barbed wire, or other obstacles in your path. You
should avoid operating a
snowmobile in bad weather.
Check for warnings regarding snowstorms and rain
before starting.
Always slow down at the
top of a hill or snow bank.
There could be an unexpected hazard on the other
side. Also, do not attempt to
jump or hurdle snow banks.
You will only have control
of your snowmobile when
the skis are firmly on the
ground.
Take the time to learn the
snowmobile laws and regulations for the area you are
in. Each state has its own
requirements and rules in
regard to snowmobiles. Use
common sense when approaching roads or railroad
tracks. Make sure you signal each turn you make and
watch for other vehicles.
Control your speed according the conditions in which
you are riding.
Use extra caution if you
are operating a snowmobile
at night. Unseen obstacles
can be potentially fatal.
Drive only as fast as your
headlights will allow you to
see safely. Never attempt to
navigate new trails at
night.
Do not operate a snowmobile while drinking. Numerous accidents occur
each year to due driving a
snowmobile after consuming alcohol. Make sure the
vehicle you are driving has
been properly maintained
and is in good operating
condition. Snowmobiling
can be exciting and very
safe if you observe the
proper precautions and use
common sense while riding.

Tips for
Off-Trail Riding
Tip 1
Research different areas to practice off-trail snowmobiling legally. After the year 2000, many national and state
agencies--especially national parks--began cracking
down on illegal snowmobiling. Make sure all areas you
look at allow for off-the-beaten-path trips.
Tip 2
Prepare your gear beforehand. At minimum, a off-trail
snowmobiler will need: long underwear, base layer,
snowmobile snowsuit, helmet, snowmobile mittens,
snowmobiling boots, an emergency kit (which will have
a beacon for rescue, tools for snowmobile repair, water
and an emergency blanket), food for two days, water for
three days, a GPS unit and a guide book for the area.
Tip 3
Check the weather patterns and determine the type of
terrain you'd like to tackle. Some places boast heavy
snowfall in the winters and attract fresh powder enthusiasts. Other places, like in northern Canada, have
thick, heavy forests that challenge technical riders.
Tip 4
Apply for a permit to ride off-trail. This may not be
needed, depending on the area, but it's best to check
with either the ranger controlling the area or your local
department of natural resources office.
Tip 5
Learn different techniques for off-trail riding. As opposed to trail riding, off-trail riding involves using
your problem-solving skills to pull yourself out of
ditches or deep snow.
