Colorado Parks and Wildlife, along with its partner, Steamboat Lake Snowclub, is inviting all snowmobilers, whether experienced or novice, to attend a free, Colorado Snowmobiler Safety Course. Space is limited and anyone interested must register at the Steamboat Lake State Park at (970) 879-3922 to reserve a spot. Riders who successfully complete the course will receive a safety certificate, which is required for all riders between the ages of 10 and 16 years of age who wish to ride on public lands, unless accompanied by a rider 16 years or older.
The course will consist of classroom instruction followed by basic snowmobile operation. If possible, participants should bring their own snowmobile and equipment, including a helmet; however, a personal machine is not required. The safety certificate qualifications will be completed in the classroom.
