Trail Update .... IT"S DEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP


Trails Update: Well Mother Nature is finally coming
to the valley.  Let’s hope for lots of snow. The
upper elevations are in good shape. Everything from
Kenyon’s to up high has been groomed this week.
There are some ice patches, so take care. The
fields and lower elevations will be reassessed after
 the tomorrow’s storm.

Wednesday Night Ride:  Doug and I are planning
to ride tomorrow night!  Come one come all. Maybe
we could do dinner too. Meet at 6:00pm at Kenyon’s.

The St. Johnsbury Overnight has been postponed
due to trail conditions. The back-up date is March 13th.
More details to come.

Trail Update


Trails Update: Doug, Lenny and the boys road
 around the Log Job and toward Duxbury Store, but
did not go down to the store, on Wednesday.  All
 the trails continue to be mid-winter condition in the
 higher elevations.  We continue to groom the higher
 elevations; the trails are flat and hard.  You can access
 the trails from Kenyon’s, just head up the hill or from
the Fayston Gravel Pit.   The fields are still waiting on
 Mother Nature.   The Camel’s hump loop has a few
ice patches, so take care.

Get out and ride a few miles it is worth the effort.


Overnight Ride to St. Johnsbury
     on February 26th& 27th.
We will be trailering to St J. on Saturday morning
 early and will ride in the area Saturday and Sunday.
 We have reservations to stay at the Holiday Hotel
 on Saturday night.  The cost per room is $69, each
 room has two queen sized beds.  Folks who choose
 to arrive on Friday night can stay for the same rate.

 Please RSVP by February 22nd,
 which is next Monday,
 to Cari via email cari@gmavt.net or at 802-496-3836.

Trail update.


Happy Riding,
The trial from Kenyon’s to the upper elevations is groomed and looking
great……..flat as aboard.  We have not had a big snow but the inches
have made all the difference. The higher elevations continue to be
groomed and are ready for riding. The fields and the trail to
The Duxbury Store remains thin. We recommend you head to the
higher elevations.

President MRRR

FYI The Duxbury Store hours vary. Do not count on being able to fuel up there; you may be out of luck.

Trail and Groomer update


Hello Fellow Snowmobile Enthusiasts,

Great news; Tuesday evening a group of guys
were able to replace the broken pump and the
groomer is out of the woods.  It will be several
days before this groomer is out on the trails
again. They need to check it over for fluid
contamination in other parts of the machine. 
A special thanks to Paul, Pete, Eugene and
Doug for all their hard work and cold hands!


I was out for a ride around the Camel’s Hump
loop on Thursday.  Wow! The trails were terrific
and the views spectacular with the clear blue skies.
The trails are flat with plenty of snow, and a fresh
 3 inches topped it off.  It was a bit thin on the
Waterbury side, but still ok.  I only saw one or
 two water bars half open. You can access the
higher elevation through the Fayston gravel pit.
 We continue to groom the higher elevation trails.


The lower elevations are still very thin and the
groomer has not been through.  We are still waiting
on Mother Nature.

Military Ride In.


Military Ride was a GREAT success. Despite
the bitter cold temperatures, attendance was
good.  Patrons had an enjoyable time. Ben &
Tim’s favorite was the Blackhawk helicopter.
The Times Argus has a very good article about
the event in Sunday’s paper.

Thank you to all who helped make this event
possible and to all those who have served
our country in the armed services. 

Trails:  OUCH ! They are still closed in the lower
elevation till further notice. More tough news
 in the higher elevations, grooming has come
to a screeching halt due to a break down. Check
out the pictures above.  The guys are working
on getting out of the woods, parts arrive on
Monday.  It will be a couple of days yet.

Club meeting       Day: Tuesday of this week
Place: Fayston Town Hall
Time: 7pm
Among the topics to be discussed are trails,
St. J Ride, Radar Run, location of  2010 Raffle
All are welcome to attend.
