Despite increased safety standards and regulations designed to make snowmobiling safer, accidents continue to claim the lives of snowmobilers in Michigan at an alarming rate. According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, last year 22 snowmobilers were killed in 603 accidents, up from 13 fatalities in the 1992-93 season. What:s even more alarming is the number of snowmobilers killed in Michigan as compared to the rest of the nation. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that during the 1991-92 winter season there were 65 snowmobile fatalities in the nation; 17 of these fatal accidents occurred in Michigan. In addition to fatalities, there were 1,064 personal injuries during this three-year period.

Snowmobile regulations and Closures. Forest road use regulations of the ForestPractices Code of BC Act allow for snowmobile operation on unploughed roads
http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/drm/recreation/WinterRecreation/SnowmobileRegulations.h
Snowmobile Regulations and Closures Forest road use regulations of the Forest Practices Code of BC Act allow for snowmobile operation on unploughed roads within provincial forests, unless such roads are closed for other purposes, such as wildlife protection or commercial heli-skiing. A person must not operate a snowmobile on a Forest Service road if it appears that the road has been snowploughed, or that the road is otherwise fit for travel by other motor vehicles. The maximum allowable speed is 80 km/h but any operating speed must be safe for the conditions. A person does not need to hold a driver’s license issued under the Motor Vehicle Act or third party liability insurance while operating a snowmobile on Forest Service roads. However snowmobiles must be registered and marked with identification numbers (decals in British Columbia. Local agreement areas and legal closures are monitored and enforced by Ministry staff. Please refer to the Winter Recreation map brochure and obey posted signs.

Safety Commission Warns About Snowmobile Hazards
CPSC Document #541 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that each year about 110 people die while riding snowmobiles. The Commission estimates that about 13,400 hospital emergency room-treated injuries occur each year with snowmobiles. Approximately two-fifths or 40 percent of the reported deaths resulted from colliding with trees, wires, bridges, and other vehicles. Some deaths occurred when the snowmobile rolled to the side in a ditch or stream and pinned the operator under the vehicle. Deaths also have occurred when the snowmobile entered water, mostly when it was operating on ice and fell through.
CPSC recommends the following safe snowmobiling rules for recreational snowmobiling: 1. Never drive your snowmobile alone or on unfamiliar ground Have someone ride along with you, so you can help each other in case of breakdown or accident.
2. Drive only on established and marked trails or in specified use areas.
3. Avoid waterways Frozen lakes and rivers can be fatal. It is almost impossible to judge adequate ice coverage or depth.

See and hear snowmobilers talk about condition in Island Pond!
An unforgettable experience...
Enjoy the pristine beauty of Vermont's countryside as you have never seen it before. Snowmobiling allows you to view miles of Vermont's backcountry scenery, see wildlife in their natural habitat, and socialize with your friends. More than 3,100 miles of wide, "corridor" VAST trails and several thousand miles of secondary trails will lead you to spacious fields, high mountain tops, remote farmyards, and hospitable villages. Vermont's snowmobiling season usually starts in mid December, and ends in early April, snow permitting. Northern Vermont and especially the Northeast Kingdom around Island Pond average of 100-250 inches of snow per season. You can spend a week or a day riding the extensive trail system established in the Northeast Kingdom where there is almost always snow! Orleans, Essex, and Caledonia counties offer numerous activities to enjoy while snowmobiling. Weekends provide Chicken Pie Suppers, Pancake Breakfasts, Poker Rides, and Drag Races. These events bring the snowmobile community together for meals and competition. Stop in the village church hall or school for a mouth-watering plate of chicken pie, then head off to watch men and women compete for trophies in drag racing or play your hand in a game of poker during a Poker Ride. If there's no ride-in, pack up your saddlebags and have a picnic alongside the trail. Nothing is more rewarding than a campfire-cooked hot dog on a stick.

Snowmobile Safety
In North America, more than 10 million people enjoy snowmobiling, according to the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA), and it is a family sport for most participants. However, the laws governing snowmobiling vary widely between states and provinces, and they are generally less restrictive than regulations which govern the use of other motor vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles. In some areas, helmets are not required and children as young as eight can legally operate a snowmobile. Often there are no regulations governing snowmobile use on private property. As of Jan. 1, 2001, the State of Wisconsin requires that snowmobilers who are at least 12 years old and who were born after Jan. 1, 1985, must have completed a snowmobile safety course. The state offers an eight-hour safety course that includes classroom study and hands-on operation of a snowmobile. The course is conducted by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and covers such topics as transporting a snowmobile, environmental impacts, protective gear, emergency situations and regulations as well as safety tips. In reviewing data from the past several winters in Wisconsin, the DNR observed that snowmobilers were most likely to be involved in a deadly accident between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m., so extreme caution is urged at night.

Michigan Snowmobile Regulations
A snowmobile may not be operated on a public highway excepting the following:
A snowmobile maybe operated on the right-of-way of a public highway (except a limited access highway) if it is operated at the extreme right of the open portion of the right-of-way and with the flow of traffic on the highway. Snowmobiles operated on a road right-of-way must travel in single file and shall not be operated abreast except when overtaking or passing another snowmobile.
A snowmobile may be operated on the roadway or shoulder when necessary to cross a bridge or culvert if the snowmobile is brought to a complete stop before entering onto the roadway or shoulder and the operator yields the right-of-way to any approaching vehicle on the highway.
A snowmobile may be operated across a public highway, other than a limited access highway, at right angles to the highway for the purpose of getting from area to another when the operation can be done in safety and another vehicle is not crossing the highway at the same time in the immediate area. An operator must bring his or her snowmobile to a complete stop before proceeding across the public highway and must yield the right-of-way to all oncoming traffic.
Snowmobiles may be operated on a highway in a county road system, which is not normally snowplowed for vehicular traffic; and on the right-of-way or shoulder when no right-of-way exists on a snowplowed highway in a county road system, outside the corporate limits of a city or village, which is designated and marked for snowmobile use by the county road commission having jurisdiction.

http://www.glifwc.org/pub/spring01/snowmobile.htm
Snowmobile safety taught by GLIFWC wardens By Sue Erickson, Staff Writer Lac Courte Oreilles, Wis. —Thirteen youth were certified to operate snowmobiles following the on-reservation snowmobile safety course held at Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) in February.
Rusk says the course will be mandatory in Wisconsin for anyone born in 1985 or after. Current law states youth must be twelve to operate a snowmobile, but eleven year-olds can take the safety course.
At LCO, the course is jointly instructed by GLIFWC wardens Ken Rusk and Kris Kessenich, and George Morrow, LCO conservation officer.
During the February class, Cory Fossum, a newly hired GLIFWC warden, also qualified to instruct snowmobile safety courses, which GLIFWC wardens offer on most other member reservations.
“We don’t teach the kids how to drive snowmobiles,” Rusk says, but to understand the rules and regulations governing snowmobiles and safe operation of the machines.
The course emphasizes safety by encouraging the buddy system and teaching the meaning of signs used along snowmobile routes and snowmobile regulations, like the 10 mph. speed limit and 100’ distance required when near ice fishermen.
At LCO, the course is divided into two sessions, and both written and practical testing takes place. The written test requires students to know the laws and signs relating to snowmobiling. The practical exam, taken outside on snowmobiles, checks for safe operating practices.
