If there are 5 behind you then put up 5 fingers. The amount you put up does not include you only the riders behind you. I'm really not sure about more then 5, maybe flash the 5 then 1, 2 etc.. for the other numbers above 5 and keep doing that untill the group passing is past you.

You should hold up 4. They see you already and you are warning them how many are behind you so they can look out.
This is a snowmobile forum. There are only so many issues pertaining to snowmobiling. New people are joining all the time. Of course things are going to be repeated over and over again. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT GET OFF THIS FORUM!!!
(hmmmm, where have I heard that kind of advice before?)
3 is tough
With my gloves on holding up 3 fingers does not work very good.
So I go with 4. I figure its better than no signal at all.
Hey this reminds me when my wife was a raw beginner about 8 years ago she went like half a season behind me waveing at all the oncoming riders.
Was kinda funny
I had her take snowmobile safety at about 38 years old and thought we were covered.
I thought wrong. She has it down now.

Ahhh NoPro, I hate to tell you, but I have ridden about 1200 miles behind her this season, and she still needs some help with the counting....

Just hang on!
Why do you have to do that?
The guy asks a question and instead of adding something valuable, you have to make a smart comment because you see this thread every year. He only has 22 posts, so maybe he is a newer rider just wanted an answer.
Is this board only for people who have been here for years??
Keep in mind, all of the users here (even the new ones) are what keeps this board going. Please don't chase them away.
wrong answer famousguy. the correct answer would have been to follow the instructions posted in the link above which accounts for people who wear mittens, no actual fingers are needed

Skylar is a good sport...
Fortunately - everyone knows better than that infocard and understands on the trails that it is indeed a courtesy to signal how many sleds are behind you.
