Rougli terrain and un- even snow surfaces can result in overturned mna- chines and spilîs if trav- elled at too great a speed. 3. Mild weather with re- sultant wet snow and slushi creates the worst conditions for snowmio- bile conditions. Below freezing temperatures are necessary for the best snowmiobiling. 4.
