THE CHITTENDEN DAMMERS
Snowmobiling Courtesy
and
Environmental Awareness
Welcome!
The Chittenden Dammers Snowmobile Club welcomes you to the 2011/2012 snowmobile season. The Chittenden trail system was fortunate to have suffered minimal damage during Irene’s unwelcomed visit to Vermont. Lots of small washouts but no major damage other than the wooden bridge near Lefferts Pond. Currently we have a fully operational trail system and provided Mother Nature works with us it will remain so through the winter season. According to the long range weather forecaster’s, a good snow year looks promising. So it’s time to get those sleds ready to hit the trails!
This season we are pleased to announce the purchase of a new Mogul Master Drag with a Multi Blade Planer with a TSI Compactor Bar to enhance your riding pleasure. This state–of–the–art grooming drag will fully complement out new Tucker Sno Cat purchased last year and should produce a really excellent groomed trail product. You will notice some other trail improvements such as the “Camp Road Bypass” which eliminates using the often scratchy road when accessing the trails from the Chittenden Dam area. We have a few other surprises in store so keep checking our news blog for updates on these as they happen.
The Dammers officers and board of directors welcome you to this finely groomed playground in the Green Mountain National Forest. This area is open to all outdoor enthusiasts and is shared by cross country skiers, snowshoer’s ,dogsledder’s and winter hikers. As you enjoy riding your sleds please respect others enjoying the area as they choose. Be safe and please respect the environment, keep in mind the Dammers theme of “Snowmobiling Courtesy and Environmental Awareness”.
Please be courteous to the cross country skiers coming from the Mountain Top Inn when entering the trail system and observe posted speed limits. There is a time and a place to let it rip, please use your head or we could loose valuable access to critical areas we share with other winter sports enthusiasts. The 2010/2011 season proved to be one of the safest in recent history and we would like to keep it that way!! Please always ride with caution and “Ride Right” always.
We encourage all interested to attend our monthly meetings held the first Tuesday of the month September through April @ 7:00 at the Mountain Top Inn unless otherwise noted. Check the news blog for updated information. Any questions comments or suggestions please call the Chittenden Dammers Hotline and snow phone: or drop us an email at . Get involved IT’S ALL IN THE NAME OF FUN!

As for first season this site was online, we were pleasantly surprised to see how much traffic it got over the riding season. The Trail Conditions Report was one of the most popular parts of the site.
