Snowmobiling Tip 1
Never drink and ride.
This includes passengers. Snowmobiling
requires alertness at all times, from all riders.
Drinking can intensify a snowmobiler's fatigue,
resulting in diminished vision, judgment,
decision-making ability, balance and reaction
time. Combined, these factors can
seriously increase the risk of mishap.
