Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• License
• Registration for your extreme snowmobile
• Insurance
• Proper extreme snowmobiling gear and equipment for you and your extreme snowmobile
• Trailer to transport your extreme snowmobile

1. Decide whether you want to start sledding locally or further afield. If you want to go local, start by going to city hall or online to find out what the regulations are for snowmobiling. City hall or the state site may even include a list of snowmobiling trails with the information on regulations.

2. Do a general search online for trails in your state. Putting "extreme snowmobiling in [your state]" will pull up lots of information on trails, regulations, anything you can imagine.

3. Talk to your snowmobiling friends or people at your local sports equipment store. They might be a great source of local snowmobiling trails.

4. Visit the trails that you find either online or through your friends and look them over. Make certain they are designated trails. You don't want to trespass. Start with the easier trails first and work your way up to the more extreme trails as your ability increases.

5. Look online if you want to choose an extreme snowmobiling location that's not local. Do general searches, putting in words like: "US extreme snowmobiling locations." If you want to go 'way up north to Canada, put in "Canada" instead of "US."

6. Make sure you know regulations if you are going outside your state or country.

7. Go to the trails that appeal, and check them out. You might even want to watch some others extreme snowmobiling first to see how the riders handle the trail and what to look for.
