Snowmobiling and VAST Trails

The Red Oak Inn is near to some of the finest snowmobiling areas in Southern Vermont.  Southern Vermont is covered by over 400 miles of snowmobile trails in the VAST snowmobile trail system.

Vermont's snowmobiling season usually starts in mid December, after hunting season, and ends in early April. Vermont's southern region receives an average of 100-230 inches of snow, and with its high elevations, it often means that rain in southern New England falls as snow here.  Any person who intends to ride on the VAST smowmobile trail system must join a Vermont snowmobile club. There are over 145 clubs in Vermont to choose from and they are located throughout the state. Once you join a club, you may use any of the snowmobile trails located throughout Vermont.

Snowmobile club membership fees usually range from $5 to $25 a year. These fees are included in the cost of your trail pass. Your dues and registration fees support VAST's extensive snowmobile trail grooming, maintenance and development of new snowmobile trails.

For an updated list of snowmobile clubs in Vermont visit the official VT VAST website.

For snowmobiling race enthusiasts, Rock Maple Racing, sponsors SnoCross and HillCross snowmobile races regularly at nearby Haystack Mountain.  Their racing schedule can be found here.
