New York State Parks and Recreation instructor Gary Kocher will be conducting a snowmobile safety class for this coming winter.

The class is open to youth and adults alike. Youth must be at least ten ( 10 ) years old on the day they take the class.

Adults new to the sport should also take the class to become familiar with the safe operation and maintenance of the snowmobile and trail riding etiquette as well as rules and laws that pertain to the sport.

You may also be eligible for a savings on sled insurance for having your Snowmobile Safety Certificate

Youth ages 14 through 17 years old may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, without adult or other supervision if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York. If youth ages 14 through 17 years have not completed the training course, they may operate a snowmobile if accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age. Youth ages 10 through 13 may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York and are accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age.

Children less than 10 years old or less than age 14 without a safety certificate may operate a snowmobile only on lands owned or leased by their parent or guardian.
