Keep physically fit for winter sports activities. Wear proper winter clothing and protective glasses or goggles. Know the weather forecast. When the weather turns bad, turn back. Be aware that snow on steep slopes is subject to avalanches.
Small avalanches can be just as deadly as large ones.
Keep your snowmobile in good operating condition. Always carry a tool kit. Stay on marked trails or roads open to snowmobiles. Cross-country travel should be avoided unless prior preparations were carefully made. Always carry a map.
