Grooming
EVERYONE loves seeing freshly groomed trails. But did you realize that groomed trails need to “set-up” in order to stand up to the snowmobile traffic? Up to 6 hours is required for fresh-groomed trail snow to re-freeze and withstand the amount of riding that most trails receive. Temperature and the type of snow are also factors in the actual “set-up” time. When you come across a freshly manicured trail, please respect the groomer driver by 1) yielding to the ma-chines…IT’S THE LAW! 2) dimming your headlights, whether you are approaching a groomer from the front or the rear. Your bright lights are unsafe to the groomer drivers! 3) don’t tear-up the fresh snow, and ride on the right side at all times. Yes, it may look more enjoyable to ride on the smoothed-out snow, but all you will be doing is negatively affect-ing the trail and cutting down on the longevity of the trail. Many groomer drivers spend hours and hours in the ma-chines…traveling only 6 to 9 miles per hour. Respect the effort that these volunteers are giving for everyone’s enjoy-ment!
High-beam Headlights
Snowmobile operators should always switch their high-beams off whenever approaching oncoming snowmobil-ers on the trails OR when riding on vehicle roadways and when approaching a groomer either from the front or back. Just like in a car or truck, high-beams could blind a driver and cause an accident. It’s common sense and respect to dim your lights when high-beams could affect oncoming traffic.
Stay on The Marked Trails!
Snowmobile club volunteers take extreme care to find the safest trail for snowmobile traffic to ride, especially in open fields. The club reps mark the outer boundary (delineate, by State Law), and those stakes then represent where NOT to go outside of. Inside or near the stakes, clubs mark objects that one may encounter as well as noting warnings for fences, bridges, culverts, narrowing of trails, etc. Outside of those stakes, no club volunteer can assure riders what may be out there that could damage your sled or possibly result in an accident. Please understand that when you see signs that read “Stay on Trail”, “Stay on Trail, OR STAY HOME”, or “Respect Landowners”…most of the time that means the generous owners of the property are concerned that riders may or are riding off the section of property that was given permission for the trail to be located and open to snowmobile use. Quite possibly there may be crops in the fields, or the club is on the last leg with the landowner and may lose the permission if riders keep disrespecting the owner of the land. It’s all about RESPECTING THE LANDOWNERS AND THE CLUBS!
Here’s to a safe, fun, and long snowmobile season. I would like to wish each snowmobiler a Happy Holiday Season as well. Pray for more snow and cold temperatures throughout the entire winter.
STAY RIGHT, …And BETWEEN the Stakes!
THINK! You are an ambassador of this sport.
