What is up with that? The 710 trail was open during a brief period that month. If you caught it at the right time, it was pretty good riding! Too bad it didn’t last very long. As I write this, a nor’easter is bearing down on Southern Vermont promising some white gold. Our grooming team is ready. Heck, who’s not? Let’s hope Mother Nature doesn’t disappoint. Needless to say, not much has happened this season. But, that doesn’t stop us from looking forward to and planning for next season. There is always something to do from trail and bridge work to equipment repair, fundraising and more. We’ve got a couple of off-season events in the works. We invite you to visit our booth at the Wardsboro Fourth of July parade and also at the Gilfeather Turnip Festival in the fall. Please join us. You’ll meet new friends who, like you, share a passion for the sport of snowmobiling. Visit our website for a complete list of WPSC events and up-to-date trail reports. As always, think snow!
