Vermont State Police are reminding snowmobilers about ways to stay safe this season.
They say those who are 12 or older are required to take and pass a snowmobile safety course before operating on the State Snowmobile Trail System. Before heading out police say to check weather and trail conditions, do a safety check of the snowmobile, travel with a friend and tell someone where you're going and when you're expected to return.
They also say not to operate a snowmobile while impaired and travel in a safe and controlled manner.
