The designated paths should be well-kept and excellent for a pleasant ride. Control your need for speed. Picking up too much speed on your snowmobile, like any other vehicle, may be dangerous. You'll have greater traction and control if you keep to the speed limit—or even slower in adverse riding conditions. Don't forget that others might not know how to handle your machine, so stay within yourself and others will too. Also remember that you are sharing the trail with other riders who may not follow these rules. If you see someone coming toward you, stop or slow down until they pass by. Don't worry about them being able to keep up with you—they're just as responsible for their safety as you are. A few minutes spent thinking about what could happen on the trail will make you work to ensure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Finally, leave no trace behind you when you're done riding. This means don't throw your cigarette butts out of the car window, and please don't use the bathroom on the side of the road. These things are not only unsightly, but they can also be hazardous if not used properly. If you come across any obstacles on the trail, such as bridges that are not visible from the road, check first to make sure there is no one else around before going over them. If there is, wait for them to pass before proceeding.
