Hartland Hill Hoppers

Hartland Hill Hopper 2023 Report

A very special thanks to our many generous Landowners that allow us the privilege to maintain a trail on their property – we appreciate each and every one of you! Landowners and Volunteers make trails possible!

A reminder to all trail users to respect the Landowners, stay on marked trails and be courteous to others!

This year, VAST had over 2.5 million dollars in storm damage throughout the state to our trail system. Thank goodness for grants and volunteers so that we could do the necessary repairs to get the trails ready for the season.

Snowmobiling supports the local businesses right here in town! Snowmobiling generates millions of dollars in the State of Vermont each year. In order to ride on the VAST trail system, each snowmobile is required to have a valid TMA, which includes VAST, Club & County fees. Liability insurance for each snowmobile is mandatory and if you were born after July 1, 1983 – you must take the snowmobile safety course. The course can also be done on-line through VAST. VAST has over 6,000 miles of trail of which 41 miles are right here in Hartland.

VAST TMA memberships are only available to purchase on-line https://vtvast.org/trails.html

For updates, stay tuned through the clubs emails as well as the clubs Facebook page. Although we had a small turnout for our annual Landowner's "Thank You" BBQ this past summer, it was enjoyed by those that attended.

Our meetings are the second Wednesday of the month beginning in October and ending in April and held at the Hartland Recreation Center at 7:00 PM. All are welcome to attend.

Look for us at Hartland's Old Home Day on the 4th of July where we will be, once again with our famous sausages with the works, our tasty Fresh Squeezed Lemonade and our bright and colorful Sno Cones! Fundraisers are necessary to help with the clubs expenses, including maintaining our Tucker, building bridges and overall trail maintenance! Donations of any size are very much appreciated and gratefully accepted anytime! If you wish to donate to the club, checks should be made out to the Hartland Hill Hoppers, Inc. and mailed to PO Box 105, Hartland, VT 05048.

Again, “many many thanks” to all of our Landowner’s & Volunteer's and anyone else that has helped in any way! Remember, we are VAST & it is what we make it! Happy Trails!
