Cpl Jolene Garland says before heading out, riders should prepare themselves in case they become lost, stranded, or experience bad weather and delays.
With lots of the white stuff on the west coast, comes an increase in snowmobiling and the RCMP want those venturing into the outdoors, to always put safety first. Officers want users to ride sober and wear the proper safety gear, including helmets which are mandatory. Cpl Jolene Garland says before heading out, riders should prepare themselves in case they become lost, stranded, or experience bad weather and delays. She says it’s a good idea to ride with company and pack additional food, water and fire-making equipment. Garland says goggles, safety glasses or a face shield are also required when a snowmobile is not equipped with a windshield that is of a height to provide adequate protection to the eyes. RCMP also reminds snowmobilers to notify others of their planned route and return time.
