  § 21.02 Snowmobile trail maintenance entities. Snowmobile trail
maintenance entities play an important role in the trail system. As
general guidelines, to further promote the proper and safe operation of
snowmobiles and the other purposes as set forth in section 21.01 of this
article, snowmobile trail maintenance entities should strive to:

1. clearly mark and delineate state designated snowmobile trails for
which they are responsible;

2. encourage riders to participate in available snowmobile educational
programs to make riders aware of the inherent risks associated with the
sport;

3. equip trail maintenance vehicles that they operate with such
warning implements or devices as specified by law;

4. hold training sessions each season, for operators of trail
maintenance equipment concerning the proper operation of such vehicles;

5. provide education for all other personnel charged with trail
maintenance, inspection or patrol duties as to methods to be used for
summoning aid in emergencies; and

6. maintain for public use trail area information showing the
following:  (a) the location of state designated trails; and (b) the
status of each trail as open or closed. Nothing in this section shall
create a legal duty or obligation beyond that which may already exist.
