Dear Snowmobiler:
Congratulations on having successfully completed the Minnesota Snowmobile
Safety Training Program offered by the Village of Eden Prairie. We hope
that the time spent in this class will have been well spent by making you
a safer, law-abiding, more courteous snowmobiler. I've included a copy of
the new Eden Prairie snowmobile ordinance for you to have for your reference*
I hope that you'll read it and adhere to the provisions of it to insure a
long life for snowmobiling in Eden Prairie. If you have any questions
about the ordinance, be sure and call me.
Thank you,
Village of EdenPrairie
