|
| Safety Patrol Report | ||
| |
||
| The most important goal of the PowderMill Snowmobile Club is to provide safe and enjoyable riding for its members and all snowmobile riders. Please respect the landowners,do not litter, watch your speed and keep the noise down around houses and horses. | ||
| |
||
| ATV use on PowderMill Snowmobile Club Trails | ||
| |
||
| ATV use is allowed on the rail bed only, providing sufficient snow cover is available, from Aikman Collins (Textron) in Farmington to the Rochester High School. (ATV funds are used to maintain these trails and they are posted as open for ATV use) | ||
| |
||
| ATV use is only allowed on other parts of the trail system, if the individual ATV rider has personally obtained written landowner permission. (No ATV funds have been used in creating and maintaining these trails, and these trails are NOT posted as open for ATV use) | ||
| |
||
| The PowderMill Snowmobile Club is a snowmobile club only, and all landowner permissions we have secured for the trails allow snowmobile use only. | ||
| |
||
| The law changed this year and a trail no longer needs to be posted as closed to ATV use, it now needs to be posted open to ATV use. | ||
| |
||
| |
||
| Areas to use Caution | ||
| |
||
| 1. All water bodies should be considered unsafe until they have been thoroughly checked for 10 inches of ice. Even then, if you do not know where the inlets or streams are stay off the ice. | ||
| |
||
| 2. Watch for gates. There are now gates at Moose Mt., Devil's Den, Foulke's Mountain Pasture, and on the Powder Green Trail along Route 11 from Rochester to New Durham. | ||
| |
||
| 3. Watch for open water on trails -- Be especially careful during early winter and spring conditions. | ||
| |
||
| 4. Watch out for groomers. We may be running 24/7 and on either side of the trail. On smaller trails, groomers take up the whole trail. | ||
| |
||
| 5. When approaching a groomer, make sure the operator sees you and watch for his signals before you pass. When coming from the other direction (remember, the groomer has the right-of-way and must stay on the trail) please pull over, off the trail or turn around and go back to a wider area of the trail to make it safer. | ||
