Maintaining these permissions and the future of the VAST trail system depends on YOUR actions. Respect the landowners and ride responsibly! I will remember that this land I am traveling on is not mine, but borrowed for a season. It is the home of someone else. I will respect their privacy as I would expect others to respect mine in my home and on my land. Moreover, I understand that I am not the only guest to share this great outdoors. There are others from all walks of life who seek the same privilege of using this land just like me. I will also respect Mother Nature’s wild creatures who were here long before us. I will take time to slow my journey, if only to experience the beauty of the season and to enjoy this sport I love. I will remember the Golden Rule. I will leave no blight of litter or abuse on this gift of freedom from life’s often sameness. Snowmobiling is a privilege, not a right. Remember, the key to the sport of snowmobiling in Vermont is permission from a landowner. SNOWMOBILER’S PLEDGE I will remember that this land I am traveling on is not mine, but borrowed for a season.

Snowmobiling is a privilege and is permitted only through the traditional generosity of thousands of property owners. Each year local snowmobile clubs obtain landowner permission to maintain these trails on private property. Respecting the land by showing courtesy and not littering will ensure that New England’s best trail system remains open for years to come. Permission to use snowmobile trails does not extend to use of these trails by ATVs, four-wheelers, motor or mountain bikes, hiking or other uses, unless specifically authorized. A VAST trail is a trail only during the snow season; any other use will be considered trespassing. Please respect the rights of the landowners and remember to say thank you.
