Stay on Designated Trails Winter trails in the Whiteshell are monitored and maintained for your safety – and to facilitate an enjoyable outing. Trails have been developed to allow recreational opportunities while protecting our natural environment. By staying on designated trails you can reduce risks to yourself and your equipment, and help protect the beauty of our park. Remember: All motorized vehicles are prohibited in the Mantario Wilderness Zone. Trails marked with a blue ribbon are not Snofund Trails. These trails are trapping trails and are not intended for public use. Professional trappers in this area depend on these trails for part of their income. Using these trails compromises their livelihood. Snow and ice conditions are monitored on designated trails only. You are risking your safety and your equipment when riding off marked trails. A map has been provided in the warm-up shelters to help you plan your trip on designated trails. We thank you for your help and co-operation. T he Snofund is Manitoba’s user-pay snowmobile trail pass system. It requires snowmobilers who choose to ride on a designated Snofund Snowmobile Trail to purchase a trail pass (Snopass). As a dedicated fund, all of the money raised through the sales of Snopasses goes back into snowmobiling. The Snofund Program provides financial assistance to maintain existing trails, develop new ones, construct and upgrade trail shelters, purchase and install trail signs, produce regional trail maps of the designated trail system and cover the operational costs of the Snofund Program. A Snopass is legally required to ride on designated Snofund snowmobile trails. RCMP and Manitoba Natural Resource Officers actively patrol the trails and enforce the requirement for a Snopass. All Whiteshell Provincial Park snowmobile trails are designated as Snofund trails. For more information or trail condition reports, call Snoman Inc.

Cross-Country Ski Repair Kit cord wire pliers knife screwdriver emergency ski tip Snowmobile Safety Snowmobiling requires constant care, caution and attention. For this reason, do not drink and drive. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your perception and judgement, slow your reaction time and limit your ability to control your sled at critical moments. Operating your machine under the influence of alcohol puts your life and the lives of others in danger. It is punishable under the Criminal Code of Canada and can put both your driver’s license and insurability at risk. Drowning is the leading cause of snowmobile fatalities. When operating snowmachines across frozen lakes, stay on the designated trail. Do not stop until you reach shore. If you hit slush, do not let off the throttle. If you are following someone who hits slush, veer off to make your own path. If you are crossing unfamiliar lakes and rivers that are not part of the designated trail system, ask area residents whether a safe track across the ice exists. As a rule of thumb, "If you don’t know, don’t go.” A final safety tip – check your fuel tank to ensure you can get to the next fuel stop. soup that can be cooked in its own container 9m (30 ft.) of thin nylon cord 1m (3ft.) of electric wire.

The objective is to stay warm and dry to prevent frostbite or hypothermia. Plan your outing carefully, choosing trails that suit your level of ability. Before you depart, check local snow conditions. For current information, contact your local Manitoba Conservation office. Check for closures in the case of competitions, and reschedule your outing accordingly. Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. Ski with a partner whenever possible. Observe the one-way travel directions to avoid colliding into other skiers. Step off the trail when resting or adjusting equipment. Know your limits; don’t over-exert yourself. Stay on designated trails. Bring along a variety of waxes and a scraper for changing snow conditions. Keep to the right so faster skiers can pass on the left. Carry out all garbage. combat cold and hazards. Waterproof, insulated boots and leather snowmobile mitts provide the best warmth and protection. When cross-country skiing, wear layers of loose-fitting clothes, permitting you to remove some when working hard, and to put on more layers when resting. Warm hats, mittens and socks (preferably wool) are essential. Wearing a hat will reduce heat loss through your head. Carry an extra pair of mittens and socks so that a dry pair is available. Woolen socks can be pulled over ski boots for added insulation on very cold days or if sidelined in an emergency. Basic Survival Kit While enjoying the remote areas of the park, you can easily ski, snowshoe or snowmobile beyond immediate help. A basic survival kit can be packed and brought with you in case of an emergency. You can add items to these packs for longer journeys (see the information provided on snowmobiling and cross- country skiing for additional items). A basic repair kit has been included with both the cross-country skiing and snowmobiling sections. It’s a long haul if your equipment breaks and you are unable to fix it. waterproof matches, or flint candle pocket knife (Swiss Army type) aluminum foil (1m x 1m; 3ft. x 3ft.) for cooking, insulation, and making containers two sugar cubes two heavy-duty plastic bags for shelter compact folding saw whistle for emergency communication roll of 2 in. waterproof tape for first aid, patching, binding and tying Signs of Frostbite and Hypothermia Frostbite results when the skin freezes, particularly on fingers, feet and face (ears, nose and cheeks). First the area turns red, then greyish white. To treat frostbite, gently warm the affected area with body heat. Do not massage the affected area as this may result in damaging the skin cells. Do not rub with snow or apply direct heat. If necessary, remove gloves or boots and warm hands and feet inside your jacket. Hypothermia is the dangerous lowering of body temperature, which causes loss of normal body functioning. It can happen even on relatively warm days. Be on the lookout for signs of hypothermia, which can include shivering, confusion and clumsiness in the early stage. Forget the myth that alcohol warms up a chilled person. It opens the blood vessels and removes the feeling of chill, but it does nothing to increase body heat. Instead it can increase the risk of hypothermia. With alcohol, you may feel warmer, while your body chills dangerously. Dressing Right With high-tech winter wear and proper layering, winter comfort is easy. Start with polypropylene and thermal underwear that releases moisture while retaining heat. Add other heat retentive layers. Avoid cottons and sweatshirts, which retain moisture and make you feel clammy and cold. Good snowmobile wear contains material that retains heat, releases moisture and resists both water and wind. Consider a buoyant suit with reflective trim for night visibility. Carry extra clothing, socks, boot liners and mitts for layering. A helmet and face shield W e want you to enjoy your visit and have fun in the park. While you are here, please play it safe so you can come back to enjoy the Whiteshell over and over again. Weather can change quickly, so be prepared. Think ahead and plan your outing carefully. Winter Safety Tips Before you take off, check your equipment. Let a responsible person know where you are going, when you are leaving and when you expect to return. Maintain your snowmobile and cross-country ski equipment. When estimating time for the trip, make an allowance for the slowest member of the group who sets the pace for the others. Make sure the group stays together. Verify by making frequent headcounts. Take time out for rest, food, water, toilet breaks and adjusting equipment. Watch out for signs that members of your groups are tiring or experience any other changes in physical condition. Dress appropriately for the weather. Be prepared for sudden changes in temperature. Watch the weather carefully. If it worsens, head back to your starting point or get to a shelter. Be aware of weather warnings, and remember to include the wind-chill when planning your trip.

A basic repair kithas been included with both the cross-country skiingand snowmobiling sections. It’s a long haul if yourequipment breaks and you are unable to fix it.

Signs of Frostbite andHypothermiaFrostbite results when the skin freezes, particularly onfingers, feet and face (ears, nose and cheeks). First thearea turns red, then greyish white. To treat frostbite,gently warm the affected area with body heat. Do not massage the affected area as this may result indamaging the skin cells. Do not rub with snow orapply direct heat. If necessary, remove gloves or bootsand warm hands and feet inside your jacket.

Hypothermia is the dangerous lowering of bodytemperature, which causes loss of normal bodyfunctioning. It can happen even on relatively warmdays. Be on the lookout for signs of hypothermia,which can include shivering, confusion and clumsinessin the early stage.

Forget the myth that alcohol warms up a chilledperson. It opens the blood vessels and removes thefeeling of chill, but it does nothing to increase bodyheat. Instead it can increase the risk of hypothermia.With alcohol, you may feel warmer, while your bodychills dangerously.

Dressing RightWith high-tech winter wear and proper layering,winter comfort is easy. Start with polypropylene andthermal underwear that releases moisture whileretaining heat. Add other heat retentive layers. Avoidcottons and sweatshirts, which retain moisture andmake you feel clammy and cold.

Good snowmobile wear contains material that retainsheat, releases moisture and resists both water andwind. Consider a buoyant suit with reflective trim fornight visibility. Carry extra clothing, socks, boot linersand mitts for layering. A helmet and face shield

We want you to enjoy your visit and have fun in the park. While you are here, please play it

safe so you can come back to enjoy the Whiteshell overand over again. Weather can change quickly, so beprepared. Think ahead and plan your outing carefully.

Winter Safety Tips■ Before you take off, check your equipment.

■ Let a responsible person know where you aregoing, when you are leaving and when youexpect to return.

■ Maintain your snowmobile and cross-country ski equipment.

■ When estimating time for the trip, make anallowance for the slowest member of the groupwho sets the pace for the others.

■ Make sure the group stays together. Verify bymaking frequent headcounts.

■ Take time out for rest, food, water, toilet breaksand adjusting equipment.

■ Watch out for signs that members of your groupsare tiring or experience any other changes inphysical condition.

■ Dress appropriately for the weather. Be preparedfor sudden changes in temperature.

■ Watch the weather carefully. If it worsens, headback to your starting point or get to a shelter.

■ Be aware of weather warnings, and remember toinclude the wind-chill when planning your trip.
