around 2,500 miles this season and 
am grateful for every one. To our 
volunteers and riders: thank you for 
making this winter so awesome. Hard 
work truly pays off! Peyton and her 
Dad were excited to find BuzzBee on 
Sno-Bees trails. Riders enjoying the

grooming crew! Trails were awesome.

Well folks, it turned out to be some 
great riding on our trails this season. 
Hopefully you came up through 
and experienced the result of many 
volunteer grooming hours. The club 
logged more grooming miles than it 
has in many years. Granted, the riding 
window was a bit short, having ended 
just prior to me writing this article.
I mention volunteer hours because 
that is what it takes. Lots of them! 
Thinking ahead to this summer and 
trail maintenance, we will be looking 
for a few extra hands. Plans are to 
keep widening and flattening the trails 
where we can.
Based on the many compliments the 
club received online and on Facebook, 
our riders were extremely happy and 
understand the hard work put into 
revamping and maintaining the trail 
system.

How about coming out and lending 
a hand this summer? Many of 
our volunteers end up with a free 
Volunteer TMA because of the hours 
put into the upkeep. Interested? Send a 
message via Messenger and we will let 
you know of our plans and dates.
A shout out to our surrounding clubs. 
The energy, camaraderie and offers 
to lend a hand make VAST a great 
organization to be a part of!

This has been a winter to remember. 
The conditions were perfect for 
keeping the big snows we had (single-
digit temps) and made for some great 
riding right outside our doors!
The months of trail repairs and 
improvements paid off with the best 
riding we have had in years. Now 
spring is attacking and the snow is 
vanishing almost like magic. So we 
move forward with our Appreciation 
Dinner and start planning for this 
year’s trail work.
I would like to thank assistant 
trailmaster Shane Sage and his 
grooming crew for keeping trails in 
good condition. I would also like to 
thank Fred, Shane’s brother, for his 
help fabricating a new snow packing 
device which got us going in the deep 
snow this season. Without it we could 
not have done as good a job as we did. 
I’m certain he will continue to be a big 
asset to our grooming efforts. Now it’s 
time to break out the fishing gear and 
boats as we wait for the ice to go out. 
In the meantime, we hope everyone 
had a great snowmobile season and 
begin plans for next season.

March brought a mixed bag of weather 
that, unfortunately, curtailed much of 
our snowmobiling activity this season. 
Even so, we are truly grateful for the 
significant snowfall we did receive and 
the opportunities it provided.
We extend a sincere thank you to all of 
our volunteers. Our trail coordinator 
and grooming crew demonstrated 
outstanding commitment, keeping 
our trails safe, open and in some 
of the best riding conditions we’ve 
seen in years. We also appreciate the 
dedication of our executive board for 
their leadership, guidance and event 
planning efforts.
A special thank you goes out to our 
VAST members who chose to support 
our club through their TMA purchases, 
as well as to everyone who contributed 
their time, donations and support to 
our events. These combined efforts 
continue to help our club thrive.
Most importantly, we would like 
to recognize our landowners. Their 
generosity and continued support are 
the foundation of everything we do 
— without them, our trails would not 
exist.
As maple sugaring season gets 
underway, our snowmobiling season 
comes to a close. Please stay connected 
with us for upcoming events, meetings 
and opportunities to get involved. We 
are always looking for fresh ideas and 
new volunteers.
Jacksonville E-Z Riders hosted a different 
kind of fundraiser this year; Bingo Night! 
Be sure to visit our website and follow 
us on Facebook for updates. Have a 
great summer and stay safe.
