two items can be lifesavers if you need to improvise snowshoes or a shelter with branches. 5. Take light, high-calorie foods and layers of high-quality, insulated clothing that are adaptable to all weather changes. Remember your boots and helmet. 6. 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 BACK. Gas stations don't come by very often. 7. Let a friend or relative know you are taking a snowmobiling trip, then inform them of your planned route as well as departure and return times. Stick with the plan. If it changes, let them know and always check in upon return. 8. Snowshoes might be added to your equipment list for each individual in case your snowmobile happens to break down and you have to walk out. 9. If traveling avalanche prone areas, carry a collapsible pole for probing and small shovel for digging. 10. Stay on the right side of the trail as snowmobile trail rules are similar highway rules. 11. 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 fantastic day of breaking Wyoming powder. 12. Do not speed on the trail. Drive responsibly. Let's all do everything we can to keep snowmobiling safe for everyone.

Use the proper hand signals when turning or changing direction or speed. Stay a safe distance behind the snowmobile ahead of you. When you are making a turn, remember that at a blind corner the noise of the machine may prevent you from hearing another machine coming toward you. Approach all turns carefully. Always stay to the right on trails. Slow down, or pull off the trail if necessary when encountering skiers, snow-shoers, dog sleds or other trail users. They all enjoy the outdoors like you. Set a good example and be a respectful trail user. TAKE CARE OF THE TRAIL Safe riders snowmobile to enjoy the outdoors. They treat their surroundings with respect. They wait for enough snow cover to protect vegetation. They avoid running over trees and shrubs. They appreciate, but don't disturb, animals and other outdoor users. They respect wilderness boundaries and winter wildlife areas. Be a respectful trail user!
