Plan for fuel
Confirm refueling locations before you head out and carry a compact fuel container for longer loops to avoid getting stranded.
Stay on marked trails
Marked corridors protect fragile shoreline ice and private land—straying off-trail increases risk of thin ice and environmental damage.
Layer for wind and sun
Bring insulated, windproof outer layers and a face mask—the low sun and sled speed can increase heat loss even on calm days.
