Dear Club Members:
We are about to begin a new snowmobile
season. Last year was certainly a banner year for snowfall and we all
enjoyed an extended snowmobile season. We hope that this year is a
repeat of last year. Through the combined efforts of snowmobile
clubs throughout Vermont, we are proud to be part of a state wide
trail network of over 5500 miles. A majority of the Vermont trail
network is on private lands and thanks to local clubs like ours we
are able to use these private lands for our sport. Local clubs also
build and maintain all of these trails and annually obtain land owner
permission, brush and cut trails as necessary, and most importantly
groom every mile of trail. The Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders
maintain over 55 miles of this trail network concentrated in the
northeast corner of the state. We have recently acquired additional
miles of trail and expect to spending time bringing it up to our
club???s standard. We groom several nights each week during the
season and have a first rate groomer and drag to finely hone the
snow. Our club also engages in fund raising activities during the
year to enable us to keep our membership dues low. Our fall fund
raiser is a "Hunter's Supper" which is scheduled on the first
Saturday of Vermont's deer hunting rifle season. Each year we see
an increasing number of diners attend our dinner. Our spring fund
raiser is a Mother's Day and Land Owner appreciation breakfast.
And again each year we see an increasing number of diners.
Last year
for the second year we participated in the Great North Woods Winter
Fest by staffing a radar run. Half of the funds raised at the radar
run are contributed to the club. Our club meets the 3rd
Saturday of the month September to April at 7:00 pm in the Maidstone
Town Hall, Maidstone, VT. Visit our web site at:

for up-to-date club information, trail conditions, weather conditions

We look forward to your membership in
our club and hope that you have an enjoyable and safe snowmobile
season.
Sincerely,
Al Rogers
President
