Happy Memorial Day! With respect and gratitude, the Woodford SnoBusters honor our fallen heroes!
The Woodford SnoBusters celebrate all the Moms... snowmobile moms or otherwise! Happy Mother's Day!
Our apologies to Josh Pierce. We posted about our re-planking project before we knew about his contribution. Josh milled all the lumber that was donated for the project. We are so grateful for your time and terrific work, Josh! Community coming together like this is what it's all about!
The season may have come to an end, but the work never does! ![]()
Fletcher's Excavating generously donated the wood to replace the planking in our maintenance facility. Volunteer Larry Gates delivered it to our building and Volunteers Irene, Larry and Nick DeSouza and Greg Lancto spent their weekend installing the new boards. The planks take a beating with 4 grooming machines with drags coming and going all season. This was a much needed project and we greatly appreciate Fletcher's for their donation and our volunteers for their continued efforts. Thank you, all!
Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, April 12, 2023: Sadly, Forest Service reached out tonight and gave the word, all Woodford trails are now closed. ![]()
The season was a roller-coaster ride, but we ended with a bang. For perspective, the SnoBusters groomed 2077 miles last season and 5061.3 miles (117 trips) this season. 2593 miles (59 trips) were groomed in March. ![]()
Huge thanks to our members, landowners, law enforcement partners, fellow clubs and most especially the volunteers who give their time and efforts to make every part of our club and trail system possible. ![]()
Think Spring! 😁😁
Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, April 4, 2023: Sadly, if you look at the weather forecast, the VAST trail maps and our SnoCam, www.snobusters.org/snocam/ it is not a pretty sight. While some trails are open, conditions do not allow for continued grooming. If you are out there, please be cautious! ![]()

We are still getting reports from riders getting those last miles in, before end of season, and it is not terrible. If you have reasonable expectations about what the warm weather does to snow, it is still ridable. Check the VAST map to see which trails are still open throughout the system and where the most current grooming has occurred. ![]()
On another note, we had a terrific turnout at our Annual Meeting and Elections Saturday. It was great to see some new faces and welcome them to our club. We appreciate people taking time to meet us and see what we do here. We especially appreciate the offers to volunteer...that's what makes it all work!![]()
We were so honored to present a donation to Michelle LeBlanc and service dog, Mercy of Vermont Paws and Boots, wwwVermontPawsAndBoots.org. What this program is doing for those that served our country and our community is amazing! Be sure to check them out!![]()
Reagan Joly was this year's Woodford SnoBusters Scholarship recipient. Her father, RJ Joly accepted on her behalf, while she was away visiting colleges. Congratulations Reagan!![]()
SnoBusters are so grateful to be part of this community!![]()

Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, April 1, 2023: Temperatures are warming and it rained most of the night, but we seem to have a little reprieve from the precipitation for a good part of the day. The sun is supposed to pop out for a little bit before the rain and thunderstorms come back this afternoon/evening. There is still riding, if you manage your expectations! Be safe! Have fun! Think Snow!
Please join us tomorrow, April 1, 2023 for the Woodford SnoBusters Annual Meeting and Elections at our Maintenance Facility, 9822 VT Route 9, Woodford, VT. Meeting begins at Noon and is followed by an awesome, club sponsored meal! There will be WSB merch for sale and our friends from Dunn's Leakee Bucket will have VT Maple Syrup, as well. ![]()
We want to thank the crew over at Snowmobile Vermont- Mount Snow for their very generous gift to show their gratitude to our volunteers! We are thankful that we have always been able to count on them to help out with emergency clearing during those big storms or ice events, but we especially appreciate them acknowledging and showing their appreciation for our volunteer's efforts. ![]()
Hope to see you there! Think Snow!
Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, March 31, 2023: In advance of the warm temperatures, our groomers ran last night to continue stretching the season for as long as possible. We did have a breakdown last night, but as you know, our volunteers are AMAZING and a rescue team, Larry Gates and Brian LaCroix, went out and after Larry spent two hours under the machine, got it running. The operator, Dave Jarvis, jumped in and and got it back to the barn, only to grab another machine and head back out. He spent 18 hours in the groomer seat and ended his trip as the sun was coming up! Dave is incredible, he logs in substantial grooming miles under normal circumstances, but this is so far above and beyond. Thank you, Dave! Thank you, Brian and Larry! You guys had a rough night, only to head off to your job today...you are Superheroes!![]()

Please remember, our volunteers do not have to be here. They are contributing their time and efforts, away from their families and other activities, sometimes their jobs, to give back to a sport and a community they love. There is nothing in it for them. Of the countless volunteer hours involved in creating, maintaining and grooming trails for members, none is a paid position. We do not make a living at this. We do not make a profit at this. I would remind others in our community, that do make a profit from the snowmobile trails, even if you won't contribute in any way, the least you could do is be supportive of our volunteers and their efforts. ![]()

Woodford SnoBuster Trail Report, March 30, 2023: Groomer was out last night and we have a scant coating of fresh snow. Good news is that it is not forecast to get very warm today. Bad news is that Friday and Saturday are predicted to be both warm and rainy. Today will be the best conditions for the rest of the week (maybe season). ![]()
We do have a snowmobile related activity on Saturday for anyone interested. The Woodford SnoBusters Annual Meeting and Elections will be held at our maintenance facility, 9822 VT Route 9, Woodford, VT beginning at Noon, April 1st. Merchandise will be available for sale and we provide an incredible meal (at no charge) to follow. This is a great opportunity to meet our volunteers, see how a snowmobile club operates and to get involved. All are welcome, hope to see you there! Think snow!
