Here are some tips on how to drive a snowmobile:
- Check our liability that applies to our Snowmobile tours here (snowmobile section).
- Make sure you don’t sit too far back or too far forward.
- Keep your hands on the handlebars and turn them in the direction you want your snow scooter to turn in a similar way as you ride a bike.
- Don’t be at full throttle when making big turns, or you could slip over.
- Maintain a steady speed as you hit the throttle and make sure to hit the gas when going uphill.
- If you want to stop, release the accelerator. You don’t necessarily need to push the brakes.
- Find your balance and maintain it, especially when turning. You might need to lean a little to use the weight of your body to navigate the sled, just like they do in bobsleigh.
