The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reports six snowmobile fatalities so far this year and is urging riders to stay sober on the trails. DNR conservation wardens will emphasize that message during upcoming Sled Safe education and enforcement weekends, scheduled for January 30 through February 1 and February 6 through 8. Wardens will be patrolling snowmobile trails statewide, sharing safety tips and watching for impaired or unsafe operation. The DNR reminds riders to operate within their abilities, slow down, stay on marked trails, avoid ice-covered waters, and always stop at road crossings. More information on snowmobile safety classes, regulations, and registration is available on the DNR’s Snowmobiling webpage.
