Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders - President's Message

Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders Club President's Letter

October 2009

Dear Club Members:

We are about to begin the 2009-2010 snowmobile season. Last year was an excellent year for snowfall and we all enjoyed the snowmobile season. We hope that this year is a repeat of last year. Through the combined efforts of snowmobile clubs throughout Vermont, we enjoy a state wide trail network of over 5500 miles. A majority of the Vermont trail network is on private lands and thanks to local clubs like ours we are able to use these private lands for our sport. Local clubs also build and maintain all of these trails and annually obtain land owner permission, brush and cut trails as necessary, and most importantly groom every mile of trail. As the Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders, we are proud to be part of the Vermont trail network and contribute to it by maintaining over 55 miles of trail concentrated in the northeast corner of the state. We groom several nights each week during the season and have a first rate groomer and drag to finely hone the snow. Our club also engages in fund raising activities during the year to enable us to keep our membership dues low. Our fall fund raiser is a Hunter's Supper which is scheduled on the first Saturday of Vermont's deer hunting rifle season (November 14th this year). Each year we see an increasing number of diners attend our dinner. Our spring fund raiser is a Mother's Day and Land Owner appreciation breakfast. And again each year we see an increasing number of diners. Our club meets the 3rd Saturday of the month September to April at 7:00 pm in the Maidstone Town Hall, Maidstone, VT. Visit our web site at: http://www.ctvalleysnoriders.com for up-to-date club information, trail conditions, weather conditions in the north and more!!!

We look forward to your membership in our club and hope that you have an enjoyable and safe snowmobile season.

Sincerely,

Al Rogers
President
