The first class I took was in Grand Isle county and I was joined by folks new to riding and even some who weren’t. A few members from the Alburg Sno Springers took the test along with me. This made me think that it may be good for other old farts like me to take the class every once in a while as a refresher. This time around, I found myself in NORTHEAST KINGDOM SNOW BLASTERS SAFETY COURSE By Cindy Locke, VAST Executive Director Norton at the Chez Pigeon/Norton Restaurant with 14 students, some parents and club members from the Northeast Kingdom Snow Blasters. The class was a mix of students from under 12 years old to those in their twenties. Certified safety instructor Roger Gosselin of the Drift Dusters and director for Orleans county did an excellent job teaching the various course sections. Roger began by sharing the history of snowmobiling and VAST. He did a great job of engaging the students to make sure they had a chance to offer answers and ask questions. In his slide presentation he also inserted some of his own pictures to show different instances and examples of what he was teaching about. Congratulations on passing the course, Riley and Stacie Sbardella, Dante Cooper, Adam and Nicolas Minior, Devin Thibeault, Anna and Alyssa Pepin, Marley Coolidge, Jersey Gilman, Lucas Frazier, Rich Evans, Doug Frazier and Kay Nuisi!
