WDNR Snowmobile Safety Class
October 26 @ 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
A WDNR Snowmobile Safety education class, sponsored by the Sno-Eagles, will be held in Eagle River on October 25 and 26. The course will be taught by WDNR-certified snowmobile safety instructors.
Any person who is born on or after January 1st, 1985, and who has reached the age of 12, must have completed and received a snowmobile safety certificate to operate a snowmobile on public trails in Wisconsin. There is no minimum age required to attend the safety course, but certificates are not valid in Wisconsin until the student has reached 12 years of age.
The snowmobile safety course consists of eight hours of basic instruction in the principles of snowmobile safety. It will be held Friday, October 25th from 6 to 9 PM and Saturday, October 26th from 8:30 AM to 3 PM. Attendance at both sessions is mandatory. Parents/guardians are asked to remain for the first half-hour of class on Friday to finalize registration, sign enrollment forms for minors, and receive pertinent information. A parent or guardian must pick up each minor student at the end of class on Friday and Saturday.
The class will be held at the Town of Lincoln Town Hall located at 1205 Sundstein Rd. in Eagle River. A small portion of the class will be conducted outdoors. Students should dress appropriately for this part of the class.
A Wisconsin DNR customer ID number is required before enrolling in any safety class. Students are encouraged to obtain a DNR customer ID and enroll online at the WDNR GoWild website. An ID number can also be obtained by calling DNR Customer Service from 7AM to 10PM at 1-888-936-7463, or by visiting a DNR Service Center during regular scheduled hours. The ID number must be provided to the instructor. In addition, once students have a WDNR customer ID number, they can enroll by contacting Chris Wilhelm at (715) 891-6995 or via email at cjwilhelm@yahoo.com
