What you need to snowmobile in Vermont

To ride on the more than 4,500 mile trail system in Vermont, your machine(s) must be legally registered in Vermont or any other state or province.

VAST recognizes all valid state and provincial registrations. The cost to register a snowmobile in Vermont is $15 for a resident, $22 for a non-resident (only if not registered in another state or province) and $2 to transfer a registration if your machine has been sold or traded-in.

A TMA (Trail Maintenance Assessment/ Trail Pass) must be purchased from a club and displayed according to Vermont law. TMAs can only be purchased from a club’s membership chairperson or a local business that has been contracted to sell TMAs for the club. The cost of a TMA for the 2001-2002 season will average around $55 - $65 for Vermont residents and $85 - $95 for Non-residents.

VAST also has additional requirements for "junior" riders. Anyone born after July 1, 1983, who will be operating a snowmobile on the VAST trail system, must complete a six-hour Snowmobile Safety Course recognized by Vermont. All operators under the age of 16 must be supervised, at all times, by an adult at least 18 years of age.
