JUST WHAT IS LIGHT TREADING?
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.
Become informed. Obtain maps, regulations and other information
from the Forest Service or from other public land agencies. Learn
the rules and follow them and that goes for speed limits, too!
Avoid running over young trees, shrubs, and grasses and don't cut
wood. On flatlands or areas where trail riding is popular, it's impor-
tant to ride only where authorized. Remember, there is a link be-
tween protecting your environment and your own safety.
Respect wildlife and be particularly sensitive of animals that are rear-
ing young or suffering from food shortage. Stress can sap scarce en-
ergy reserves. Refrain from riding in areas where only animals are
intended to tread!
Obey gate closures and regulatory signs and remember, light tread-
ers don't litter!
Stay out of wilderness areas. They're closed to all vehicles. Know
where the boundaries are.
Obtain permission to travel across private land. Respect the rights
of landowners and other people's privacy. Remember, snowmobile
technology has lowered the noise factor considerably, but you still
shouldn't rev your engines where quiet “is the order of the day”.
