Just like any cold-weather activity, suiting up in the proper clothing is essential when driving your UTV in the winter. When you're driving a UTV, you're exposed to the elements. Your vehicle may have a roof or windshield, but these are largely open vehicles, and you will feel the cold if you're not prepared. First off, be sure you have some good insulated gloves so that you can keep your hands warm, and stay in control of your steering wheel. All of your winter gear should be waterproof, because any water will make you colder, faster. Consider some goggles to help with glare from the snow, especially if you're outside for long periods of time, and of course, some good-quality snow boots.

Whenever you're driving a vehicle in a snowy area, you'll want to make sure you have as much traction on your side as possible. When you're exploring an off-road trail, or even a wide-open area where there's no trail at all, you're not going to encounter things like salt and sand like you would on the roads. Instead, make sure your UTV is up for the challenge with 4-wheel drive, and the proper equipment. Just like a car, you can equip your UTV with snow tires that have deeper treads for extra grip. You can also opt for tracks for the winter, which will help you effortlessly roll over those slick surfaces without getting stuck. 

If you're going out into the wilderness for a day of play, safety should always come first! Always travel in groups, with at least one other vehicle so that you can tow each other out, or go for help if needed. You should also keep in mind that other vehicles might be out on shared trails, and stay alert for those traveling at different speeds. For example, snowmobiles are much quicker than UTVs, and can't stop as easily. For safety, be sure to yield to snowmobiles, and allow them to pass you on the trail. Carry extra supplies such as spare gloves or other snow clothes in case things get wet, and keep a supply of hand and foot warmers. Lastly, look into a winch for your UTV, as this will help you tow a friend out of trouble when needed!

Winter can sometimes put some extra work on your plate, but this is where your UTV comes in handy! You can attach a plow system to your vehicle, and become your own plow service for your driveway, trail, or yard. You can also have the plow as a precaution, in case you encounter snow that's too deep to drive through, or need to clear a path. You can also take advantage of your UTV's storage space, and use it to carry heavy loads like firewood to heat your home! With the versatile capabilities of a Utility Task Vehicle, you can make the most of both your work and play!
