Snowmobile riders on the MVRT 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.
The Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail forms the spine of the Franklin County network. Local VAST routes are noted on the individual Trail maps.
To snowmobile in Vermont, riders must purchase a trail pass for their legally registered snowmobile through a local club. Vermont recognizes all valid state and provincial snowmobile registrations. The trail pass system (adopted in 1998) is called a TMA or Trail Maintenance Assessment. The TMA includes membership in VAST and a local club. Getting a TMA is usually best done in the area where you intend to do your trail riding. VAST can provide you with local club information. Snowmobiles are not permitted on streets and highways in Vermont.
