There’s enough snow on the ground to keep snowmobilers happy – and in danger, if they’re unwise.

Two snowmobiler deaths in the past 10 days in Minnesota should serve as a reminder that though fun, a snowmobile is a fast-moving vehicle which can be every bit as deadly – or more – than a car.

Use common sense when riding. Wear your helmet. Make sure children learning to ride or drive snowmobiles take a safety class. If visibility is poor, don’t go out. Let someone know where you’re going every time you step out onto your new Yamaha.

Two deaths are too many.
