GENERAL
Wildlife compliments your snowmobil-
ing day. Snowmobile tracks provide
firm ground over which animals can
travel from area to area. Do not vio-
late this privilege by chasing or harass-
ing wildlife. Fatigue and exhaustion
can lead to animal's death. Avoid ar-
eas posted for the protection or feed-
ing of wildlife.
If you happen to be fortunate enough
to see an animal, stop your snowmo-
bile and observe quietly.
The guidelines that we support are
not designed to limit your snowmo-
biling fun, but to preserve the beau-
tiful freedom that you can experience
only on a snowmobile! These guide-
lines will keep snowmobilers 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 re-
member 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 criss-cross the
wild areas of the U.S. and Canada is
an exciting and healthy winter sport.
However, as the number of people us-
ing these recreational parks increases,
so does the potential for damage to
the environment. Abuse of land, fa-
cilities 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 re-
sponsibly.
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 areas.
Because, in the long run, to protect the
sport we must preserve the environ-
ment.
Recognizing the importance of this is-
sue and the need for snowmobilers to
do their share in preserving areas that
make it possible to enjoy our sport,
BRP has developed the “Light Tread-
ing Is Smart Sledding” 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 ap-
plies to the environment in general, its
proper care and maintenance, its natu-
ral inhabitants and all enthusiasts and
the public at large who enjoy the great
outdoors. With this theme, we invite
all snowmobilers to remember that re-
specting the environment 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 snowmo-
biling fun! It simply means tread with
respect!
