facilities, fuel for 6- 8 hours riding daily and much more.

We also have tons of great snowmobiling pictures on our web site

There have been over 200 people killed on Quebec snowmobile trails in
the past decade. ( http://tinyurl.com/d86go ) That doesn't even include
those injured or paralyzed.

Better check out the safety of this group before getting serious.

Thanks for pointing that out. These figures are reflected in practically all
provinces and states in our industry. If you noticed though, in Quebec, the
number of fatal accidents has gone down in proportion with the rising number
of licensed snowmobilers. We have worked closely with the provincial
government to help improve safety on our trails. Some of our trail pass fees
go directly into installing better signage at difficult crossings, rider
training and overall education regarding snowmobiling safety. Our trails are
patrolled by our regional security forces inspecting snowmobiles, checking
for drunk riders and keeping speeders alert. All our efforts together will
undoubtedly make our great winter sport safer and more enjoyable for all.

As in any other vehicle sport, we will never eliminate every accident, but
as members of the winter tourism industry, we are making our contribution.

Ya mean I can't drink and ride?  Even if I'm on vacation and want to
have some real fun?  Will they put me in jail or just levy a fine or
what?  Will I need a lawyer?  Can I speak English in the Quebec court or
is it all in French?

That's nasty man. I'm really hoping that you find something else to occupy
yourself with soon.

Happy trails.

Nope, this is what I do.

Unfortunately, that is what a lot of people do and we see Darwinism at its
best.  While snowmobiles are relatively safe if you practice a little common
sense, many of their drivers do no. I used to date a girl whose brother in law
was not the brightest bulb on the tree.  He lost a snowmobile through the ice of
a lake when it turned out not to be quite thick enough to hold the machine and
his weight. As if that wasn't bad enough, he lost another one the same spot too
weeks later. My brother went of a snowmobile weekend with a bunch of drunken
friends. They came back with one machine smashed and two broken legs (not him).
Then there are those who go scooting along and loose their heads trying to duck
under wire fences. And then there are the Evel Knevel types who try to do
dangerous stunts with their machines.

Snowmobiles are a PITA around here. As soon as there is a few inches of the snow
they are out wiping around the fields, which is not a problem now that they have
decent mufflers on them. But they also go tearing down the roads at high speed,
apparently under the impression that they do not have to obey the rules of the
road since they aren't even allowed on the roads.
