Avalanches<br />
Snowmobilers should always be properly<br />
trained and equipped before traveling in<br />
mountainous terrain:<br />
SAFETY<br />
• Take an avalanche class<br />
• Travel with experienced people<br />
• Travel on designated trails<br />
• Make sure each person is equipped<br />
with a shovel, probe and avalanche<br />
beacon.<br />
You don't have to be snowmobiling on a slope for an avalanche to occur.<br />
Be aware that all of the snow is connected. You may be riding on a flat<br />
slope or snow covered road, but if the snowpack above is unstable<br />
enough you can trigger an avalanche on a steeper slope above you.<br />
Always be aware of snow conditions above you as you travel in mountainous<br />
terrain.<br />
Before riding in mountainous terrain, call or log on to your local avalanche<br />
advisory to get current weather and snow stability information.<br />
For more information about avalanche training and avalanche conditions,<br />
contact local law enforcement in your area, or visit the American<br />
and Canadian online avalanche centers at www.avalanche.org.<br />
