Poultney Valley Snowmobile Devils, Inc. is a non-profit corporation that was established in 1972 by a small group of snowmobilers who felt the need of creating and organizing communication with landowners. At the time, landowners in Poultney were mostly dairy farmers who were quite generous with allowing snowmobiling on their property, and with common sense, members were allowed to ride at free will on landowner property. As the sport became more and more popular, specific trails were created and a lot of the trails included scenic views of the area. As time went on, the club became more organized as did the trail system, with safety and landowner consideration being the main focus. Presently as part of the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST), Poultney has about 100 miles of trails, approximately 250 members, and over 130 landowners.
