At long last, we were able to ride over the holidays. During the weeks of Christmas and New Years the temperatures were in the negative numbers, but the sun was shining and we had groomed white trails Along with our new Tucker, Track Inc. (formerly Get-Sno) brought our new cutter bar which they installed onto our Mogul Master drag. I’m sure everyone has had to deal with many whips hitting their helmets as they ride. No matter how much debrushing we do, we never seen to eliminate all those little branches that hang over the trails once the snow and ice arrive. Now we will be able to cut some of these as we groom. Watch us on Facebook or check out our club page on VAST’s website for upcoming events, including our Bonfire on Feb. 10, Poker Run on Feb. 18 and Pig Roast on March 3. We have lots planned for this season. Ride right, be safe and have fun! Joan Choiniere, Secretary vtvast.org/chester-snowmobile-club.html Like us on Facebook Ludlow Side Hill Cronchers It was a treat being able to open the trails on Dec. 16 and have some really nice early season riding, albeit super cold! We also have some other things to be thankful for. We’d like to thank the landowners of the East Lake Road access trail for permitting us to use their property again. This benefits a lot of people down by the lakes by getting them on the trails without driving a really long way on the road. Thank you to the crew who did the work to clear out the fallen trees and brush on the overgrown trail and make it passable. Many thanks also goes to the “Trusted to Perform” Whelen Engineering Company and Rich Letourneau for helping the club to outfit the front and
