At any rate, the Colorado Snowmobile Association reminds riders to be considerate of others, and to try to stay clear of wildlife as well. Even with the new sleds, the mountains in winter can be unforgiving. Snowmobilers should be aware of avalanche potential and winter survival skills. Such courses are offered through mountain-sports shops, the CSA and its member clubs, Colorado State Parks and others. A fundamental rule of snowmobiling is to never ride alone.
Formal clubs offer one option.
They're easy going, they'll welcome kids, and hot dogs may be cooked along the trail. It can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.
