VAST TRAIL SYSTEM IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON TIME FOR SUMMER MAINTENANCE

 

Sad but true. Green Mountain National Forest and Vermont Association of Snow Travelers officials have closed snowmobile trails within the national forest. Please respect their decision and do not ride on the closed trails as unnecessary damage will be done to the forest and the trail system. Unseasonable warm temperature’s and rain put an early end to the season. All in all I think we had a pretty good season here in the Woodford area. Our trail system sustained quite a bit of damage due to the weather we had and we will be doing trail work and maintenance on the equipment through out the summer and fall to clean it up and get it ready for the upcoming season. Anyone interested in helping out, contact us by email or phone. Contact information will be listed on our web site. Working with us during the summer and fall months will give you an opportunity to see what it takes to keep our club and the system up and running.  You will also have a chance to see the trails in the off season. This is a rare chance to experience the forest as many of the trails are closed to vehicle traffic.

Thank You, Have A Safe Summer, See You All Next Season.

Special People Ride 2010

"The Woodford Snobusters hosted another annual Very Special People Ride on Saturday, February 13, 2010 at the McKenna Barn in Woodford, Vermont.  This ride is for the special people of Bennington County that travel up the mountain to Woodford to enjoy a warm, delicious lunch and a day of snowmobiling.  Many volunteers are needed to pull this event off and volunteers is what we received on that day.  There were volunteers that donated their two-up sleds and their time to give rides.  There were volunteers stationed on the trail system to ensure our safety during the ride.  There were volunteers that cooked and baked and help serve lunch and hot drinks and, let's not forget the Woodford Snobuster members that groomed our trail system and prepared the site for the big ride.  This year, we had help from another organization, the Vermont Trail Trotters.  This organization shares the trail system during the summer to ride horseback through the Green Mountains of Vermont.  We also received a generous donation of Nathan's Hot Dogs and were blessed with Valentine Day treats from Stacey, Tanya and Megan.  THANK YOU all so much for your help!  It was much appreciated.

 Thank you again all the volunteers (too many to list by name but you know who you are), Vermont Trail Trotters, National Forest, Vermont State Police, Bennington Rescue Squad and Gene/Sharon McKenna for the use of the McKenna Barn.  Hope to see everyone again next year.  If you would like more information on this event, please contact Lisa Michaud at Michaudli@AOL.com.  Please also visit the photo section of this web site for pictures of the event."
