The Plymouth Snow Ranger's would be pleased to have
someone from your family enrolled in the Snowmobile Safety Certification
Class for this year. The objective of the course is to prevent snowmobile
accidents, and improve the quality of recreational snowmobiling
by teaching safe operation and handling of snowmobiles; to teach
understanding, respect, and the need for safe snowmobiling and snowmobile-related
laws; and to teach snowmobile operators an understanding and respect
for the environment and Other peoples rights.
Wisconsin law now require
that anyone born after Jan. 1st 1985 must complete a Snowmobile
Safety Certification class. Persons 11 years old,
who will become 12 before April 1st, also also attend the safety
class. Graduates will receive a distinctive embroidered patch, and
a snowmobile safety certificate. Further laws changes
Wisconsin law also requires that you, as a snowmobiler must receive
permission from every private land owner, every time you cross their
land on a snowmobile. Because of the efforts of the Association
of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs and the local clubs in this area,
you have this permission if you belong to a snowmobile club. If
you do not belong to a club and are unfunded riding on the trails,
you are trespassing. The only place you can ride without land owner
permission is on public funded trails such as the Kettle Marine State Forest
trails, the Old Plank Road Trail, or public lakes. But getting to
these areas normally requires you to travel over some private land.
We ask that you join a local snowmobile club, any club, for you
safety, and the continual enjoyment of snowmobiling. Because of
our community service and efforts we feel that the Snow Ranger’s
are the best club in the area. We are currently marking, brushing,
and grooming trails in the Plymouth area, and we also contract out
to do trail grooming for Cascade and Elkhart Lake. We are the only
snowmobile club to run a USSA sanctioned race by themselves, this
is our major fund raiser.
The Snow Ranger’s are proud to have presented these safety
classes every year since 1972.
Again we would like you to join our club, if not ours, please join
a club in your area. Family membership in the Snow Ranger’s
for one year is $25 which also includes membership in the Association
of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs.
Because the Plymouth Snow Ranger’s believe in safe and organized
snowmobiling we will pay for the certification of up to two students per year whose
families are members of the Snow Rangers. To join the Plymouth Snow
Rangers Snowmobile Club, you can call 892-2100 and leave your name
and address. |
