CONCORD, N.H. -- As International Snowmobile Safety Week (January 16-24, 2016) nears, Major John Wimsatt of the N.H. Fish and Game Department reminds snowmobilers to think safety first when riding the trails this winter. Wimsatt coordinates snowmobile and Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle safety education, registration and enforcement in New Hampshire.While most riding opportunities are currently limited to northern Coos County due to lack of sufficient snowfall, steady snow will likely arrive soon across most of the state.
Key safety guidelines presented by the International Snowmobile Manufacturers' Association (ISMA) are:
- Smart riders are safe riders – take snowmobile safety training.
- Snowmobiling and alcohol don't mix – don't drink and ride.
- Ride safe, stay on the trail – and always respect private property.
- When night riding slow down – expect the unexpected.
- Ride smart, ride right – stay in control.
- Know before you go – always check local ice conditions.
- One is the loneliest number – never ride alone.
- Cross with care – don't become a statistic.
