Report Snowmobile safety tips Snowmobile riders are reminded this week is Prov- incial Snowmobile Safety Week and to put safety first by avoiding unnecessary risks while having fun this winter. Check the weather forecast and contact your local snowmobile club for trail and ice conditions. Read your owners manual to learn about the safe operation of your sled. Plan a route that avoids frozen lakes or rivers -- ride marked trails only. Leave the alcohol behind: even one drink will affect your judgment, slow your reactions and increase your risk of fatigue and hypothermia. Never ride alone; always travel with a friend. Wear a buoyant snowmobile suit and carry ice picks in case you break through the ice. Pack a survival kit that includes a first aid kit, trail map and compass, matches/lighter in a waterproof con- tainer, a knife or axe, flashlight, whistle and high energy food such as nuts or granola bars. Tell someone at home where you are going, what route you will take, and when you plan to return.
