Early Winter 2018 | 3 VAST VAST NEWS NEWS Early Winter 2018 VAST AMBASSADOR PROGRAM VAST this year is resurrecting a program begun as a pilot many years ago. Moving forward, we will have around thirty volunteers from all over Vermont riding our trails with the goal of helping folks who need it, whether it’s just directions, snow condition info, or letting clubs know if they have trees down or signs missing. In addition, these folks will assist if needed with simple first aid and aiding law enforcement at accidents. PHOTO CONTEST Send those photos in!
