-7.9° Last below zero for the season I would imagine.

In VT, it’s a combination of local club fundraising and grants from VAST. The money to fund the grants comes mostly from the trail passes sold to riders. There is a large range of grooming equipment, from new Tuckers and Pisten Bully’s to ultility sleds with drags. You are correct, costs are a huge issue for us. VT is a little unique in that we are a private non-profit while other states have various degrees of state involvement/support. Either way, local clubs still provide the largest majority of work on trails and grooming support. While may we lack financial support from State government, we do have direct support from the highest levels in VT. This was from Friday after a ride from Morrisville to Stowe.

That's part of the reason that having the free weekends separate in each state is a good thing. There is only one trail from NH to Rangeley and they couldn't keep up with it when there was so much traffic. Now people can go to each state when they want to try it out.

I told you! The only time I've ridden there was when I was buying a sled. It was insane and the trails were mush.

I am contemplating heading to Maine next weekend for non-resident snowmobile weekend.

The app is decent. The graphs on the app look exactly like the desktop version, which I've pasted below.

I have an older version of this one. It’s worked well for the 3 or 5 years I’ve had it. https://ambientweather.com/ws-2902-smart-weather-station?_gl=1*moug8s*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoJC-BhCSARIsAPhdfSi1DxZHfVbYS2Hm6LVIBWjz-zS5KlWHVtIyxicSeKA9w9D2huohcRgaAsJpEALw_wcB&gbraid=0AAAAAD_pbGfHP62-2k9j_eljCxFAnTzKk

I don’t use it either. The number of times I forgot to unplug while getting off the sled was just stupid and annoying. I rarely have an issue anyway.

My gloves have a “squeegee” on the index finger. It couldn’t keep up.

Did you guys ride back in heavy, wet snow? We did about 100 miles in the NEK today and about 30 of those were in wet snow that kept making it hard to see. Constantly wiping my shield. Trails were nice. Lots of snow up there.

Holy crap. I guess they were lucky. I can’t believe he could hike back up with investigators this week.

About 1800’ I think. It’s a beautiful area and a great rec resource for people.

Usually it’s the traffic into Rangeley that’s the issue. I may be in the NEK tomorrow not likely to cross the river but you never know.

Lol. Up here the countdown to golf is usually closer to May 1

The lone trail from Rangeley traditionally gets absolutely whooped this weekend.

No snow here either. Got to take our governor out for a ride today in PF’s area. He had a good time. Welp, looks like I need to delete some old pics before I can add anymore.

I was snowmobiling in the Stowe area today. We rode from Morrisville to Johnson and then up through the Sterling Forest. There was a lot of snow up high. 3’-4’ in places.

By marriage

No pics please.

Where’s the rat line? VT/NH/MA border? West of RT7, and north of CT?

The biggest issue the last couple of years has been the lack of any sustained cold. I’m not in the NEK or Pittsburg but even here getting snow to fall wasn’t the problem. Not warming up to 50° two days later was the problem. It’s hard to maintain trails when the ground never really freezes.

Lol. I've done that before. For whatever reason the connection is slow and I push submit a couple of times or something like that.
