International Snwmobile Safety
Awareness Week Jan. 13-19
The ISSA is joining the International Snowmobile Manufacturers
Association (ISMA) in observance of Jan. 13-19 as International
Snowmobile Safety Awareness Week. A safety proclamation has been
requested from Iowa Governor Chet Culver and club-related activities and
safety classes are being encouraged at the local level.
“The purpose of International Snowmobile Safety Week is to expose
people to safe snowmobiling practices and to demonstrate how operating
safely can prevent mishaps,” explained ISMA President Ed Klim.
“Snowmobiling is a fun and exciting family activity enjoyed by over four
million people across the United States and Canada. The sport is a safe and
an enjoyable form of recreation if done properly and with respect.”
In Iowa, 29,000 snowmobiles are registered each year and operated
by men, women and children of all ages. Depending on weather
conditions, approximately 5,000 miles of snow-covered trails are
maintained and groomed by snowmobile club volunteers across the state
and enjoyed by a variety of winter recreationists.
