If you’re new to snowmobiling, be properly prepared for your ride: The Snowmobile Safety Awareness Program has an entire “Safe Rider” website, where you can learn the importance of proper riding apparel starting with under layers, eye protection, and headgear along with boots and outer layers; gear to pack including personal items, safety equipment, tools, and emergency kits; good trip planning practices; a pre-ride checklist; and much more.
