Adult Safety Training Requirement

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reminding adult snowmobilers to take the Adult Snowmobile Safety courses now starting across the state to keep themselves safe and legal this winter and to reduce the number of people killed or injured on Minnesota trails. Effective October 1, 2002, any resident born after December 31, 1976 must have a snowmobile safety certificate to operate a snowmobile anywhere in Minnesota. This requirement was passed by the legislature in 1997 after the deadly winter of 1996-97 in which 32 snowmobile fatalities were recorded.
