CONCORD - Winter is al- most here, and free in-person snowmobile safety education classes are now being scheduled in the Granite State. To operate a snowmobile or off-highway rec- reational vehicle (OHRV) in New Hampshire, any person age 12 or older must have either a valid motor vehicle driver’s license or have successfully completed an approved OHRV/Snowmobile Safety Education class, which are taught by instructors and staff trained by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Those interested in attending should register soon by visiting www.wildlife.state.nh.us/ohrv/ education.html.
OHRV/Snowmobile Safety Education classes can also be conveniently taken online. With recent changes to the state laws,
all online classes will include a combination of practical OHRV and snowmobile safety and the rules that apply to all trail riders. The cost for the virtual class is $34.50. Learn more by visiting www.wildlife.state.nh.us/ohrv/ education-online.html.
“The online safety courses provide a convenient option for students to obtain their New Hampshire Rider Certificate, at their own pace, while learn- ing key safety information im- portant for riding both OHRVs and snowmobiles,” said Cap- tain Michael Eastman, OHRV/ Snowmobile Education and Law Enforcement Coordinator for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “The entire course can be taken on a smartphone, tablet, or computer and offers a fun approach to learning by
using live-action video and inter- active learning modules.”
All children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a li- censed adult over the age of 18 when operating a snowmobile or OHRV, including on prop- erty belonging to their parents, grandparents, or guardians.
To register for an online safety class visit www.wildnh.com/ ohrv/education.html.
Many of the trained volunteer instructors who lead in-person classes are affiliated with one of the more than 100 snowmobile and 26 OHRV clubs in New Hampshire. “Joining a club is
a great way to learn about safe riding, help support local land- owners, and help maintain trails for your own and others’ enjoy- ment,” Eastman said.
For more information on how to become involved with a snow- mobile club, visit www.nhsa.com. For OHRV club information, visit www.nhohva.org.
In addition to safety educa- tion, NH Fish and Game Con- servation Officers will be out on the trails this winter conducting patrols to detect and apprehend impaired snowmobile operators, enforce speed limits, deter un- lawful off-trail riding, and detect machines with modified exhaust. These ongoing initiatives will help to keep the state’s snowmo- bile trails open and safe for all outdoor enthusiasts during the upcoming seasons.
