Anyone born on or after January 1, 1985, is required to take a Snowmobile Safety Education Course in order to legally operate a snowmobile in areas open to the public within Wisconsin. It is recommended that participants are at least 12 years of age or turn 12 shortly following completion of the class.

  • The student, and a parent/guardian if the student is not 18 years old, must attend the first session. A parent/guardian will need to sign the registration form in order for the underage student to complete the course.
