RIDING THE VEHICLE
Avalanche Hazard
When riding on mountainous terrain, you should be aware of the risk
of avalanches. Avalanches vary in size and shapes and generally oc-
cur in steep terrain and on unstable snow.
New snow, animals, people, wind and snowmobiles can all trig-
ger an avalanche. Avoid high marking or traversing steep terrain
when avalanche conditions are possible. When in unstable snow
conditions, travel should be restricted to lower angle slopes. Wind
formed cornices should be avoided. Staying off unstable conditions
is the key to safe mountain riding. Probably most important is to be
aware of the conditions and dangers on a daily basis when in the
mountains. Check local avalanche forecasts and threats each day
before heading out to ride and heed forecasters advice.
You should always carry a snow shovel, probe and avalanche bea-
con while riding on mountains. We recommend that all mountain
riders take a local avalanche safety training course to become more
familiar with snow conditions and learn how to properly use their
equipment.

Slush
Slush should be avoided at all times. Always check for slush before
starting across any lake or river. If dark spots appear in your tracks,
get off the ice immediately. Ice and water can be thrown rearward
into the path of a following snowmobile. Getting a vehicle out of a
slush area is strenuous and in some cases, impossible.
Fog or Whiteout Conditions
On land or water, fog or visibility-limiting snow can form. If you have
to proceed into the fog or heavy snow, do so slowly with your lights
on and watch intently for hazards. If you are not sure of your way, do
not proceed. Keep a safe distance behind other snowmobilers to im-
prove visibility and reaction time.
