Deerfield valley Stump Jumpers
Snowmobile club
Trails will be closing tonight, due to incoming rain and warm weather tomorrow. We are trying to maintain the snow cover we currently have. Most trails were groomed today with the small groomer to keep in best shape for the warmup and rain. Let’s hope for more cold and snow after this weekend!

Trail Closure Reminder – Corridor 100 (WM20 to WM36)
This section of trail is closed for the season at the request of the landowner.
Bridge is incomplete — no decking, trail not passable.
Trespassing will jeopardize any possibility of reopening the trail next year
If riding in the area, please respect the landowner’s closure request and follow the posted signage.
While access to Woodford trails will be more difficult this season, riders will still be able to reach the same establishments you enjoyed last year. In fact, our club continues to offer more dining options than any club in southern Vermont. And the Wilmington downtown trail has reopened, improving access to downtown restaurants and amenities.
For DVSJ Club Members, you have received an email with a more detailed description of the trail closure and remediation efforts.
Thank you for supporting the long-term health and safety of our trail system.

Explore the Deerfield Valley
The Deerfield Valley has been home to sleds for more than three decades. We used to be much less advanced than what we have evolved to now. There used to be no TMAs to aid in funding the initial route laying or the repeated trail grooming until a small group of committed motorcyclists who sought a trail system built the path for the rest to enjoy. These riders, who lacked the funds for supplies, shut down the system. The best we could do when there was a brook to cross was toss wooden pallets into the stream and rely on the snow to eventually cover the pallets and make the route passable. It’s always good to remember “How it all started” and that the Deerfield Valley Stump Jumpers (DVSJ) exist today due to the “MANY” hardworking volunteers and landowners who allow us to use their land for our trail system.

Trail Maintenance Assessment (TMA)
The Deerfield Valley Stump Jumpers online TMA purchase process from previous years was fairly straightforward. The new TMA process that we all now have to follow is a directive from VAST. We hope you find the new VAST process as easy or even better going forward.
Please consider making a separate donation through the Donate button below to help assist the club. Contributions to our grooming fund are greatly appreciated and 100% of this assistance goes to seasonal fuel costs, equipment maintenance as wells as Infrastructure repairs.
Many thanks to all who have contributed so far!
