My friend rides a competitor’s product… Can they still attend?
The Yamaha Power Tour Demo Rides are an opportunity for Yamaha riders, and owners of other equipment to come
and find out for themselves what all the talk is about. All responsible SM enthusiasts are welcome.
Can my 8 year old daughter ride with me?
Certainly but any passengers under the age of 18 must:
- Be accompanied by their parent
- Have proper fitting apparel
- Have a separate waiver signed (by a parent). Sorry written permission from an absent parent is not acceptable
- Be comfortable and not cause any hazard to others on the ride
- Ride as a passenger only on a machine properly equipped to do so (2-up sled only)
I’ve been sledding for a long time, but just got my license… Can I still participate?
You are certainly welcome to attend our Power Tour Demo Days, and enjoy the day’s activities. You require a
