Youth Snowmobile Safety Training will be Saturday January 23/ 2021
Youth Snowmobile Safety CourseThe Faribo Sno-Go Club, in conjunction with the Minnesota DNR is once again hosting a Youth Snowmobile Safety Training Course. Students need to be age 12-15 by March 1st, 2021. The course requires successful completion of the online course work prior to the mandatory Field Day session. The online coursework can be found at www.snowmobilecourse.com or via the MnDNR website under snowmobile safety training tab. There is a fee for the online portion. The students MUST complete the online course work and print the Certificate of Completion. The Certificate of Completion MUST be brought to the Field Day session. Students will not be allowed to take the Field Day portion of the course without it. NO exceptions. The Field Day will be Saturday morning, January 23rd. Students may arrive anytime between 9am and 10am. As the students arrive they will check-in with their Certificate of completion and be placed in small groups with no more than 3 households allowed in a group. A brief 15 question quiz will be given to highlight different areas of the online coursework. After that they will move onto an overview of the snowmobile controls and complete a pre-trip safety inspection of a snowmobile. From there they will navigate through the driving course. Parents should plan on the entire Field Day taking approximately 45 minutes from the time their student begins. Students need to be registered for the Field Day by filling out the form below. Please fill out the form COMPLETELY. We will be sending out an email to confirm your student is registered. Due to Covid restrictions, our class size is limited and every student MUST be registered. We will be sending out an email once we have determined a location for the Field Day. Due to lack of snow the location may not be determined until midweek January 19-21. It is preferred that the students bring their own snowmobiles as they are more comfortable on them. We will have 2 snowmobiles available but if everyone opts to use them the course will take a substantial amount of time to complete. Please bring your own snowmobile.
