Dressing warmly is the most important rule in snowmobiling. It suggests to wear a balaclava, goggles, and very thick gloves. It also recommends your wear many thermal layers so you could always take one off if you do get hot. Another tip is to get familiar with how your vehicle rides and feels. Sit on it for a few minutes before heading out to know where everything on the snowmobile is. The throttle is on the right, the brake on the left. Get the feel of shifting your body. You must lean into the turns and accelerate when coming to an incline. You should stand up while on the incline. You must always be in control of it, do not let it control you because that is when an accident will happen. Going downhill is the opposite; you should tilt yourself backwards while still grasping the handlebars. Priority should be given to those going uphill. Driving side ways on a hill is a very difficult task. You must lean as far as possible up the hill. Always keep the same speed and do not make any sudden turns.

These are all very good tips for snowmobiling if you are a beginner. The main point is to stay warm, drive safe and smart and have fun.
