1. STAY ON TRAILS! The Adirondacks has many trails, some may be private, not all are designated for snowmobiles, so ALWAYS follow trail signs. Tracks do not mean it is a trail, follow trail signs. Fields and open areas may have snow covered hazards, such as ponds, fences, stumps, gullies, swamps, and private land. STAY ON THE TRAILS!2. Pay attention to trail signs and ALWAYS stop and look both ways before crossing roads.
3. Your headlights will lead the way. Do not feel you need to race to "keep up". Plan stops at each stop sign or intersection and wait for your group to catch up. Drive defensively!
4. Always, keep to the right of the trail when riding.
5. Be aware of hand signals of other traffic. If you are the lead rider in your group, gesture to each passing sled the number of riders in your group (using the fingers of your left hand, indicate how many riders are in your group). Subsequent riders should also indicate how many riders are behind him or her. The last rider in your group should hold up a clenched fist, letting oncoming traffic know when your group is clear. See examples of hand signals
