Driving a snowmobile in Ontario

MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Driving a snowmobile; What you need to drive a snowmobile in Ontario; Stop for police

This chapter tells you what you need to know to drive a motorized snow vehicle in Ontario: age requirements, registration, where you can and cannot drive, safety tips, traffic signs and signals, and the Snowmobiler's Code of Ethics.

You can drive a snowmobile if you have a valid Ontario driver's licence (any class). If you do not have a driver's licence and you are 12 years of age or older, a valid motorized snow-vehicle operator's licence (MSVOL) will allow you to drive on trails established and maintained by a recreational organization for the use of snowmobiles. However, you must be 16 years of age or older and have a driver's licence or MSVOL (not both) to drive a snowmobile along or across a public road where snowmobiles are allowed. A visitor to Ontario must have a valid licence that allows them to drive a snowmobile in their home province, state or country.
