3 KNOW YOUR CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS Use common sense and good judgment. This sport is so exhilarating that loss of these capabilities can be dangerous. Use the ddy system". Don't go alone. Come prepared: know the area, the weather, your route and the condition of your own body and equipment. Start with a sensible checklist of proper clothing, equipment and safety gear. Know how to repair your machine and carry a repair kit along with extra spark plugs, drive belt, a roll of twine and a knife. The last items can be lifesavers if you need to improvise snowshoes or a shelter with branches. Take light, high-calorie foods and layers of high-quality, insulated clothing that can be adapted to all weather changes. Remember r boots and helmet. Know the basic principles of map and compass reading and use them! Drive only until you have a half a tank of gas left, then GO CK. Gas stations don't come by very often. Let a friend or relative know you are taking a snowmobiling trip, then inform them of your planned route as well as departure and rn times. Stick with the plan. If it changes, let them know and always check in upon return. Snowshoes might be added to your equipment list for each individual in case your snowmobile happens to break down and you e to walk out. If traveling avalanche prone areas, carry a collapsible pole for probing and a small shovel for digging.. Stay on the right side of the trail as snowmobile trail rules are similar highway rules.. Do not drink alcohol and ride. Please remember the time to have that drink is when you are safely back at the trailhead after a tastic day of breaking Wyoming powder.. Do not speed on the trail. Drive responsibly. Let's all do everything we can to keep snowmobiling safe for everyone.
