The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your snow-
mobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can expe-
rience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep
snowmobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to what they
know and enjoy about their favorite winter pastime. So, the next time
you hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear winter day, we ask you to re-
member that you are paving the way for the future of our sport. Help
us lead it down the right path! From all of us at BRP, thank you for
doing your share.
GENERAL INFORMATION

14
There is nothing more exhilarating than snowmobiling. Venturing onto
snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is an exciting and healthy win-
ter sport. However, as the number of people using these recreational
parks increases, so does the potential for damage to the environment.
Abuse of land, facilities and resources inevitably leads to restrictions
and closures of both private and public land.
In essence, the greatest threat to our sport, is all around us. Which
leaves us with one logical choice. When we snowmobile, we must al-
ways ride responsibly.
The vast majority respect the law and the environment. Each of us
must set an example for those who are new to the sport, young and
old alike.
It is in every one's best interest to tread lightly into our recreational
areas. Because, in the long run, to protect the sport we must preserve
the environment.
Recognizing the importance of this issue and the need for snow-
mobilers to do their share in preserving areas that make it possible to
enjoy our sport, BRP has developed the “Light Treading Is Smart Sled-
ding” campaign for snowmobilers.
Light Treading refers to more than the thread of our tracks. It's a state-
ment of concern, respect and willingness to take the lead and take ac-
tion. It applies to the environment in general, its proper care and
maintenance, its natural inhabitants and all enthusiasts and the public
at large who enjoy the great outdoors. With this theme, we invite all
snowmobilers to remember that respecting the environment is not only
critical to the future of our industry but to future generations.
Light Treading in no way suggests you should curb your appetite for
snowmobiling fun! It simply means tread with respect!
The fundamental objective of Light Treading is one of respect for
where and how you ride a snowmobile. You're a light treader when
you follow the principles below.
BBeeccoommee iinnffoorrmmeedd. Obtain maps, regulations and other information
from the Forest Service or from other public land agencies. Learn the
rules and follow them and that goes for speed limits, too!
AAvvooiidd running over young trees, shrubs, and grasses and don't cut
wood. On flatlands or areas where trail riding is popular, it's important
to ride only where authorized. Remember, there is a link between pro-
tecting your environment and your own safety.
RReessppeecctt wwiillddlliiffee and be particularly sensitive of animals that are rear-
ing young or suffering from food shortage. Stress can sap scarce en-

OObbttaaiinn ppeerrmmiissssiioonn to travel across private land. Respect the rights of
landowners and other people's privacy. Remember, snowmobile tech-
nology has lowered the noise factor considerably, but you still
shouldn't rev your engines where quiet “is the order of the day”.
Snowmobilers know all too well the efforts that have been made
throughout the sport's history to enjoy access to areas where people
can snowmobile safely and responsibly. This effort continues today,
as strong as ever.
Respecting the areas where we ride... wherever they may be... is the
only way to ensure their future enjoyment. That's one major reason
why we know you'll agree that Light Treading is smart sledding! And
there are more.
Enjoying the opportunity to see winter and all its natural majestic won-
ders, is an experience cherished by snowmobilers. Light Treading will
preserve this opportunity and will make it possible for us to expose
others to the beauty of winter and the unique thrill of our sport! Light
Treading will help our sport to grow!
Finally, Light Treading is the sign of a smart snowmobiler. You don't
have to leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to show you
can ride. So whether you're driving a high performance BRP snowmo-
bile or any other make or model, show you know what you're doing.
Show you know how to send snow flying and make tracks with a light
touch!

Operators must be qualified. Make sure the operator is 16 or older.
Your state (or province) may have additional requirements. Laws re-
garding the minimum age and licensing requirements vary from one
jurisdiction to another. Be sure to contact the local authorities for infor-
mation regarding the legal operation of a snowmobile in the intended
jurisdiction of use. BRP highly recommends that you take a safety rid-
ing course. Basic training is required for the safe operation of any
snowmobile.
Operation of this snowmobile with a disability that impairs vision, reac-
tion time, judgment, or operation of the controls is not recommended.
The safe use of your snowmobile depends on many conditions such
as visibility, speed, weather, environment, traffic, vehicle condition
and the condition of the operator. The performance of some snowmo-
biles may significantly exceed that of other snowmobiles you have op-
erated. Therefore, use by novice or inexperienced operators is not
recommended.
Each passenger must be able to simultaneously place both feet firmly
flat against each footboard when properly seated.
DDrruuggss aanndd AAllccoohhooll
Never ride after consuming alcohol or drugs. Riding on a snowmobile
requires the operator and passenger (s) to be sober, attentive and
alert. The use of drugs and alcohol, singly or in combination, de-
creases reaction time, impedes judgment, impairs vision, and inhibits
your ability to safely ride on a snowmobile.

We recommend that all mountain riders take a local avalanche safety
training course to become more familiar with snow conditions and
learn how to properly use their equipment. Here are some web sites
