Section 21.02. Snowmobile trail maintenance entities  


Latest version.
  • Snowmobile  trail
      maintenance entities play an important role  in  the  trail  system.  As
      general  guidelines, to further promote the proper and safe operation of
      snowmobiles and the other purposes as set forth in section 21.01 of this
      article, snowmobile trail maintenance entities should strive to:
        1. clearly mark and delineate state designated snowmobile  trails  for
      which they are responsible;
        2. encourage riders to participate in available snowmobile educational
      programs  to make riders aware of the inherent risks associated with the
      sport;
        3. equip trail  maintenance  vehicles  that  they  operate  with  such
      warning implements or devices as specified by law;
        4.  hold  training  sessions  each  season,  for  operators  of  trail
      maintenance equipment concerning the proper operation of such vehicles;
        5. provide education  for  all  other  personnel  charged  with  trail
      maintenance,  inspection  or  patrol duties as to methods to be used for
      summoning aid in emergencies; and
        6.  maintain  for  public  use  trail  area  information  showing  the
      following:    (a)  the  location of state designated trails; and (b) the
      status of each trail as open or closed. Nothing in  this  section  shall
      create a legal duty or obligation beyond that which may already exist.
