Snowmobile Safety and Certification
South Dakota Snowmobile Association
The SOUTH DAKOTA SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION (SDSA) promotes safe snowmobiling for all riders. Before taking a snowmobile ride, familiarize yourself with your sled and the area where you plan to ride and also, always follow these basic safe riding rules:
- Always ride with a buddy. It’s just foolish to venture out on the trail alone.
- Always maintain at least 3 seconds of distance between you and the person in front of you.
- Drinking alcohol and riding don’t mix; hold off on that beverage until you’re back at the lodge!
- Stop often if you are riding with a large group to make sure everyone is accounted for. Things can happen quickly, so make sure your group doesn’t get so spread out that you leave a rider behind.
