I will be a
good sports enthusiast. I recognize that people judge all snowmobile
owners by my actions. I will use my influence with other snowmobile
owners to promote fair conduct.
I will not litter on trails or camping areas. I will not
pollute lakes or streams.
I will not damage living
trees, shrubs, or other natural features. I will go out only when there
is sufficient snow so that I will not damage the land.
I will respect other people's
property and rights.
I will lend a helping hand
when I see someone in distress.
I will make myself and my
vehicle available to assist search and rescue parties.
I will not interfere with or
harass hikers, skiers, snowshoers, ice anglers, mushers or other winter sports
enthusiasts. I will respect their rights to enjoy our recreation
facilities.
I will know and obey all
federal, state/provincial and local rules regulating the operation of
snowmobiles in areas where I use my vehicle. I will inform officials
when using public lands.
I will not harass wildlife. I
will avoid areas posted for the protection or feeding of wildlife.
I will stay on marked trails
or marked roads open to snowmobiles. I will not snowmobile where
prohibited.
