THE CHITTENDEN DAMMERS
Snowmobiling Courtesy
and
Environmental Awareness
Welcome!
The Chittenden Dammers Snowmobile Club welcomes you to our web site. The Chittenden area provides some of the finest sledding in the eastern U.S. and is a gateway to some real adventure on Vermont's own VAST snowmobile trail system that now totals over 6,000 miles of trail.
We are pleased to announce the recent opening of a connecting trail which opens up the southern corridor formerly only accessible from Chittenden via Bridgewater/Plymouth. This connects Chittenden directly with the Shrewsbury area and all points south. It has been twenty five years since this trail has been used and riders of those earlier years say it is great fun and really opens many more miles of riding to Rutland county riders. Also you will see we no longer use the dirt road along the Chittenden Reservoir as our main trail access route thus creating better trail access when the road is plowed. This change will be favorable to home owners in that area as well. In a time of trail closures and limited access we are really happy with these two huge steps forward in improving the quality of snowmobiling in the Chittenden area.
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, snow shoers, dog sledders and winter hikers. As you enjoy riding your sleds please respect others enjoying it as they choose. Be safe and please respect the environment, keeping 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 so please use good judgment or we could loose access to critical areas we share with other winter sports enthusiasts.
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 web site News and Announcements for updated information. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please call the Chittenden Dammers Hotline and snow phone: . Get involved! IT’S ALL IN THE NAME OF FUN!!!

The Latest...
Though not as long a season as we would have liked, when we had snow, the conditions were better than an average year and excellent for a good part of the season.
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.
