April 15, 2025
Today officially marks the end of the 2025 snowmobile season. The season and the Vermont snowmobile community would not be the same without the dedication and hard work of our volunteers and landowners. We also extend our gratitude to law enforcement for their efforts in keeping everyone safe. If you have some free time, consider reaching out to a local club to see if they need assistance with upcoming trail work or project days. Wishing you a happy spring, and please stay safe!
Please check the map below or with local clubs on their social media pages for the most up-to-date information.
Vermont law states that you must operate your snowmobile at a speed that is reasonable and prudent, taking into consideration current conditions, trail traffic, and other hazards present on the trail.
VAST Snowmobile Season is defined under the Vermont State Statues, Title 23, Chapter 29 § 3201. “Closed season” shall be defined as the time from April 16 to December 15. This means that VAST trails may legally be opened for use by clubs beginning on December 16th until April 15th.
VAST/Clubs can open and close trails at their discretion between December 16th and April 15th. This discretion is based on several factors including, but not limited to conditions of the trail beneath the snow, snow conditions and landowner requests. The ability for VAST/Clubs to open and close trails at their discretion is defined in the Vermont Statutes, Title 23, Chapter 29, § 3206 which reads; (a) A person shall operate, or cause to be operated, a snowmobile only in accordance with this chapter. (b) A snowmobile shall not be operated………….(23) During the open season when the Statewide Snowmobile Trail System has not been officially opened by the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, Inc., due to lack of snow or for temporary closures caused by lack of snow or dangerous trail conditions.
