  • Perform winter maintenance on your ATV as directed in your owner’s manual.
  • Make certain you have been trained in surviving the extremes of the environment in which you’ll be traveling. Never venture into an area without properly preparing for the unexpected.
  • Check local weather forecasts and monitor weather changes.
  • Dress warmly to offset the wind chill created by your motion.
  • Before venturing onto a frozen lake, make sure the ice is thick enough to support your loaded ATV safely.
