On October 16, 17 & 19, the Osceola Valley Snogoers held the WI Snowmobile Safety Training at the Osceola High School. 30 students successfully completed the training and are now ready to hit the trails this winter.
Special thanks to the instructors who lead the training: Kevin McNutt, Duane Wolter & Chris Keezer
The objective of the training is to reduce the potential for accidents, injuries and fatalities; to reduce the potential for conflict between participants, landowners and other resource users; and to promote safe, responsible and ethical use of the environment and our resources.
Congratulations to all the graduates of this years class.
More information on the WI snowmobile safety training:
Any person who is born on or after Jan. 1, 1985, and who has reached the age of 12, must have completed and received a snowmobile safety certificate in order to operate a snowmobile in Wisconsin. The certificate must be carried while operating the snowmobile and displayed to a law enforcement officer upon demand.
This does not apply to the operation of snowmobiles upon lands owned or leased by the operator’s parent or guardian. Leased lands do not include lands leased by an organization of which said operator or the operator’s parent or guardian is a member.
No person under the age of 12 may operate a snowmobile unless the person is accompanied either by a parent or guardian or by a person over 18 years of age. Accompanied means to be on the same snowmobile as the operator.
Anyone is eligible to take the class and receive a safety education completion certificate. For children under 12 years of age, the certificate does not become valid until the child reaches 12. Students with special needs must contact the instructor at least two weeks in advance of the course to request special accommodations.
