 Alcohol and snowmobiling do not mix

Alcohol increases fatigue, impairs your ability to make good decisions, and slows your reaction time. It’s part of a formula for disaster. The Kelowna Snowmobile Club supports Zero Tolerance for alcohol. 

Know your limits and the limits of your snowmobile 

• Dress for cold weather:  It goes without saying that proper cold-weather underwear and outerwear, boots and gloves are a necessity and clothing must also be wind-proof. Always wear a helmet for warmth as well as safety. A visor or goggles are essential for clear vision and wind protection. Novice snowmobilers should ask more experienced riders the best type of clothing for local conditions. 

• Food & Water:  Make sure you pack adequate water and food supplies for your trip. 

• Never Travel Alone:  Always tell someone where you are going.Make a plan and stick to it. 

• Be prepared for accidents:  bring a first aid kit, ibuprofen, asprin 81 and most of all have a communication device such as a Zoleo/Garmin. Pack extra gas & fire starters. 

• Beware of Water:  The safest snowmobiling rule is never to cross lakes or rivers.

• Be Mountain Aware:  Be aware of avalanche conditions in mountainous areas. For information on avalanche awareness & current conditions go to www.avalanche.ca For more snowmobile safety information tips take a snowmobile safety course and visit www.snowmobile.org  

• Ride safe & have fun!
