Off trail riding on the local news

All true gary_in_neenah! When we started out snowmobiling, mid 1960's, it was all about the family recreation environment. Manufacturers advertising promoted the family enjoying snowmobiling together! And we did, outdoor wiener roasts, and all kinds of winter season outdoor fun!

So after seeing the Minnesota requirements posted above I started wondering what it is in Michigan. Here's the only thing I could find and it came from the Michigan DNR site,

"In Michigan, all snowmobile operators who are 12 to 16 years of age are required to take a Michigan-approved snowmobile safety course and obtain a snowmobile safety certificate."

I read this as if you can avoid being stopped by LE during the 12-16 age you are good to go at 17 and up???

This is very different than WI and MN and does not result in eventually everyone riding having taken the safety course.

Correct Tim. Just talked with a Michigan DNR officer. 17 years old, no snowmobile safety certificate required.
