Country Riders Snowmobile Club     

NEWSLETTER - January 2011


 

The winter season is here and Mother Nature is being very nice towards snowmobiling. Several trail projects have been finished for this season. Two trail reroutes were constructed. The first reroute will go from VT Rte 100 to OS31. OS31 junction was relocated along with 1.3 miles of trail at request the request of the landowner. The second reroute will be a small reroute due to a new home construction next to OS30. The VAST trail map will be updated for this coming season and will include the new trail changes.

The club is still seeking volunteers to help sign areas on the clubs trail system. If you would like to volunteer for marking a section of trail please contact the trail coordinator at 802-334-2302. Trail marking usually requires 3-4 hours of work in the fall and spring.

The new replacement Sno-Cat and Mogul

Master drag for Cat #3 has arrived and has been placed in operation.

At this time logging operations will impact the trail system near OS37 in Westfield, this section of trail will be closed for this season. The trail section from OS37 to Jay Peak will be reopened this season. The following trail section from OS21 to OS22 is closed at this time due to a new landowner closing trail. At this time we are trying to reroute this section and hope to have it back open.

Check us out on face book; we will post information each week on trail conditions along with photos and events for the club.
