There is nothing more exhilarating than snowmobiling. Venturing onto
snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is an exciting and healthy win-
ter 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 al-
ways 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
areas. Because, in the long run, to protect the sport we must preserve
the environment.
Recognizing the importance of this issue and the need for snow-
mobilers to do their share in preserving areas that make it possible to
enjoy 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 state-
ment of concern, respect and willingness to take the lead and take ac-
tion. 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 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
snowmobiling fun! It simply means tread with respect!
The fundamental objective of Light Treading is one of respect for
where and how you ride a snowmobile. You're a light treader when
you follow the principles below.
