• People should not ride beyond their ability, not only at safe skill level but also with respect to physical conditioning.

• All riders need to practice "zero tolerance." The penalty for drinking and riding is no different from that of drinking and driving and no less dangerous.

A single call to the state's information line — 1-800-OHV-RIDE — can offer specific information on snowmobiling as well as give current avalanche information. The DPR also offers detailed maps of trails and play areas in each of the nine complexes.

Maps of the various snowmobile complexes are available in the bookstore in the Natural Resources building at 1594 W. North Temple for $2 each. New maps are being designed and should be available next winter.
