Snowmobile safety classes available throughout the state
To
operate a snowmobile in New Hampshire, any person 12 and older must
have either a valid motor vehicle driver's license or have successfully
completed an approved Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) safety
education class taught by volunteer instructors trained by the New
Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Additionally, all children
younger than 14 must be accompanied by a licensed adult when operating
a snowmobile unless they are on property belonging to their parents,
grandparents or guardians.
Most snowmobile safety classes are
offered in November and December, with a few in early January, so sign
up soon. There is no charge for the classes, which are usually
completed in a single day. parents are encouraged to attend along with
their children.

many
of the trained volunteer instructors teaching the safety classes are
affiliated with one of the more than 100 snowmobile clubs in New
Hampshire.
The New Hampshire Snowmobile Association (NHSA) and its
member clubs have actively promoted safe and responsible riding since
1969. NHSA members work with Fish and Game to manage more than 6,800
miles of trails in New Hampshire and provide safety education to more
than 2,500 children each year.
