RIDING THE VEHICLE
If you happen to be fortunate enough to see an animal, stop your
snowmobile and observe quietly.
The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your snow-
mobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can
experience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep snow-
mobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to what they
know and enjoy about their favorite winter pastime. So, the next
time you hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear winter day, we ask
you to remember that you are paving the way for the future of our
sport. Help us lead it down the right path! From all of us at BRP,
thank you for doing your share.
There is nothing more exhilarating than snowmobiling. Venturing
onto snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is an exciting and
healthy winter sport. However, as the number of people using these
recreational parks increases, so does the potential for damage to the
environment. Abuse of land, facilities and resources inevitably leads
to restrictions and closures of both private and public land.
In essence, the greatest threat to our sport, is all around us. Which
leaves us with one logical choice. When we snowmobile, we must
always ride responsibly.
The vast majority respect the law and the environment. Each of us
must set an example for those who are new to the sport, young and
old alike.
It is in every one's best interest to tread lightly into our recreational ar-
eas. Because, in the long run, to protect the sport we must preserve
the environment.
Recognizing the importance of this issue and the need for snowmo-
bilers to do their share in preserving areas that make it possible to en-
joy our sport, BRP has developed the “Light Treading Is Smart Sled-
ding” campaign for snowmobilers.
Light Treading refers to more than the thread of our tracks. It's a
statement of concern, respect and willingness to take the lead and
take action. It applies to the environment in general, its proper care
and maintenance, its natural inhabitants and all enthusiasts and the
public at large who enjoy the great outdoors. With this theme, we
invite all snowmobilers to remember that respecting the environ-
ment is not only critical to the future of our industry but to future
generations.
Light Treading in no way suggests you should curb your appetite for
snowmobiling fun! It simply means tread with respect!
