Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, Inc.
VAST is the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers. Founded almost 40 years ago, VAST is responsible for the organization of the sport, maintaining and grooming trails (over 5000 miles in Vermont alone). One of the oldest snowmobiling organizations in the U.S., VAST is a non-profit, private group that includes 138 clubs statewide, with over 35,000 members combined. The clubs and their steadfast volunteers are the backbone of the organization. Their site contains maps and much other useful information.
Lake Champlain Bikeways
As many of you know, there has been a tremendous surge in interest in recreational as well as vacation biking. Vermont is among the country's leaders in establishing and promoting the state as a biker's paradise. One can now literally bike around Lake Champlain staying at various inns along the way. One can also stay at wonderful inns (like ours) and use them as a base to bike the area. Lake Champlain Bikeways can provide maps as well as a wealth of other information about biking the entire region. Don't forget to ask for a map of the Missiquoi Valley Rail Trail which runs not far from Buck Hollow Farm.
Vermont Maple Outlet
The Vermont Maple Outlet ships a large variety of pure Vermont maple syrup products and specialty foods, producing their own Vermont maple syrup. A family tradition since 1910.
Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce (Burlington)
This Chamber serves the metropolitan Burlington, and like the St. Albans Chamber, is staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. A good source for Burlington events.
