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