Weekend Trails Update!
Looks like a great weekend to ride! Our trails remain open and we’ve been grooming this week having covered most of our open trails. GPS is still not working so grooming status isn’t available on the map for our trails. Best riding is in the national forest, but you can also take 100S into Barnard. To reach points further south you’ll need to head into Chittenden and take 4/7.
Long term forecast looks good for holding onto the snow we have and maybe a few snow showers here and there adding to it a little.
And don’t forget this weekend is the ride for $25 weekend! Starting today going through Sunday! See details here: 2025 Ride For $25 Weekend | VAST
Poker Ride In
Our Annual Poker Ride in this year will be Saturday March 1st 9am to 3pm at the Groomer Garage on Bakers Rd in Pittsfield. Drive in or ride in. You don’t need to be a snowmobiler to come join in on the fun. We’ll have poker and you’ll throw darts to choose your cards just like last year. Any tie’s will be broken with a random card drawn this year. We’ll have some other raffles as well such as the 50/50 raffle and a chance to buy some of our gear.
Come and join us for some fun!
Trail Report 1-17-25
Our trails remain open. We’ve had a little snow here and there during the week. Potential for more snow Sunday night. Groomer was out last night and will be out again over the weekend. The clear is open at Noon for lunch so get out and ride while you can!
As always, check the map for which trails are open and please stay off any trails marked closed and stay on the trails that are open. Riding off trail puts our trails at risk of closure!
Looking forward to this season!
Trails are being worked on to get them ready. We look forward to a great season! Get your TMA ASAP so you don’t miss out on the early bird pricing!
Stay tuned for updates…
We had a good season, a great landowner dinner and are getting ready for projects. Stay tuned and we will post when we need some help for the projects. And don’t forget monthly meetings are the 2nd Thursday each month at the groomer garage. All members are welcome and encouraged to join us!
Trail Update 1/17/2021
The weather the past couple of days has been great and left us with at least a foot of new snow. Seems to be quite a bit more up higher. This has left our trails in much better shape. We’ve been out grooming and will continue to get all our trails groom as soon as we can. Once groomed, trails should be in great condition for the most part. There are still a few wet areas but most sections of trails have a really good cover now.
Trails closed
Trail Closures
We’ve updated our trail map online. The majority of our trails are now closed and the only riding available is in the higher terrain of the National forest in the Michigan area. Base is firm and there are some bare spots. Dot recommends studs if you do venture out.
Still a month left, so hope for snow!
Weekend Trail Report
After assessing some of our trails, we’ve updated the trail conditions on the VAST site and have made some closures. We’ve closed things north of town towards Rochester and Bethel. Too much snow was lost and there’s a lot of bare spots in fields. You can still get to Barnard and you can currently get to services although there is limited snow in some of these areas and on 100S the warning indicates where you will be on a plowed section of road for a while. Best riding is in the National Forest in the Michigan area (74/73/75/745) and towards Chittenden. That was just about all groomed up last night and should be finished up tonight. As always, ride with caution.
