The MVRT and LVRT are snow sport friendly!

When conditions allow, the entire length of the trails are groomed by local snowmobile clubs—Northwest Riders and the Cold Hollow Bearcats—and is open for winter travel by snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, snowshoers, and other winter users.

Snowmobile riders on the MVRT and LVRT can link to a 5,000-mile state-wide snowmobile network developed and maintained by the local clubs of the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST). VAST’s system links to trails in Canada, New Hampshire, New York, and Massachusetts. Visit VAST to learn more about the extensive network of trails.
 

The MVRT and LVRT forms the spine of the Franklin County VAST network. The trails include parts of corridor snowmobile routes (from west to east). The snowmobile season typically runs from December 15 to April 15 (as conditions permit).

​

To snowmobile in Vermont, riders must purchase a trail pass for their legally registered snowmobile through a local club. More information about how to purchase a trail pass can be found here. Make sure to check the trail conditions before you ride! Information about trail conditions and closures throughout the entire VAST system can be found here.
