January 2010 NEWSLETTER
Great news we have some snow! The trails have been fairly good since Christmas.
We like to say good “early riding”. The groomers have been out in full force,
but with the recent warm up they will need more snow before retuning to the
lower elevations. The higher elevation trails have good snow coverage and
continue to be groomed regularly.
E-mail communication is in full service now. Many of you have been receiving
regular updates of club events. We would like some feedback on the new set up;
too many e-mails, not enough or any general thoughts. If you know of a club
member who is not receiving the e-mails and would like to be added to our mailing
list contact: Cari@gamvt.net.
Our annual Progressive dinner will be held Saturday, January 23, 2010. Snow or no snow!
(Many of you already know this from the e-mail correspondence) The dinner is limited
to 30 members and a $10.00 donation is requested to help with the cost of the food.
If you would like to attend and to sign up for food contributions please call
Cari at 802-496-3836. We will meet at Kenyon’s at 5:30 pm to ride sleds or carpool.
