International Snowmobile Safety Week will be January 15 to 21, 2012. Many local clubs and snowmobile associations take this time to teach snowmobilers about safe riding and dealerships help by putting on seminars teaching customers how to maintain their sleds and keep them running in top condition.

The 4th annual Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week is scheduled for February 11 to 20, 2012. Consider partnering with local clubs and other local businesses to encourage non-snowmobiling friends or those who haven’t been snowmobiling for a while to join us for a time of fun. Many have tried snowmobiling for the first time at this event, with the experience resulting in the purchase of a snowmobile and joining a club and association; all because somebody asked them to come along. For more information and ideas on throwing a "Take a friend snowmobiling" event, visit www.gosnowmobiling.org.
This website is an excellent resource for new snowmobilers just getting started, or for people who want to travel to a snowmobiling destination. Last year over 3.2 million visitors came to the site and found it very helpful, based on their survey responses.
