The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is scheduling free in-person Snowmobile Safety Education Classes throughout the state ahead of the winter season.
Under state law, anyone age 12 or older must possess a valid driver’s license or have completed an approved safety education course to operate a snowmobile or off-highway recreational vehicle. Classes are taught by department-trained instructors. Riders born after July 1, 1983, who plan to ride in Vermont must also complete an approved class.
Virtual classes covering both OHRV and snowmobile safety are also available for $34.95. Riders under 14 must still be accompanied by a licensed adult age 18 or older even after passing the course.
To register for in-person classes, visit wildlife.nh.gov. To sign up for the online course, visit offroad-ed.com/newhampshire. Additional club and trail information is available at nhsa.com and nhohva.org.
