I think Woodsy is making the point that does not encourage skimming, but there are times when riding on lakes you can quickly come up on open water, and it is important to know that you can cross open water for short distances if necessary. Depending on the situation, it can be safer to open up the machine and cross the water rather than attempting to stop or turn the snowmobile.

If you spend any time riding on lakes you know conditions change rapidly and you need to be prepared for the unexpected.
