New York State Snowmobile Guide - 18

Required Equipment
Helmets
No person shall operate a snowmobile or ride as a passenger on
a snowmobile unless they is wearing a Snell
or DOT approved safety helmet except when
operating a snowmobile or riding as a passenger
on private lands owned by the operator
or passenger, or to which the operator or
passenger has a contractual right other than
as a member of a club or association, and for
which no compensation is paid to the owner
with respect to such operation.
Helmets provide warmth, impact protection, and eye protection. A
helmet must be properly fitted and buckled to provide protection.
It should be snug but not uncomfortably tight.
Many snowmobile helmets have vents that can be adjusted to
regulate air flow for fogging resistance and double lens face shields
which resist fogging better than the single lens types found on
motorcycle helmets. Many include electric heating elements which
virtually eliminate fogging.
Most importantly, buckle up. If your helmet comes off your head,
it won't protect you when you need it most. Additional useful
information about helmets, including an explanation on helmet
performance rating, is covered in the NYS Snowmobile Safety
Education Course.
Mufflers
No snowmobile shall be modified by any person in any manner
that shall amplify or otherwise increase total noise emission to a
level greater than that emitted by the snowmobile as originally
constructed, regardless of date of manufacture.
