The prerequisite is registration with the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. Maps indicating trails for snowmobiles, including corridor routes groomed for high speeds, can be obtained at the forest's District Offices in Manchester Center, Middlebury and Rochester. Mixed ownership within the Forest means some trails use private land. Use of these lands is subject to the owners' written permission, or membership in a local snowmobile club. You may be checked for proper registration of your machine and for club membership.
Fines are possible.
Cooperation is the word between VAST and the National Forest. Be alert to other trail uses such as logging and cross country skiing. And be prepared. Check weather conditions, carry a map, don't forget food and clothing as backups if a mishap occurs. Enjoy traveling in your National Forest.
