This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, Josh Smith and Gary Moore bring you a conversation that feels right at home in the North Country.
Gary sits down with William “Willy” Minot to talk about the nostalgia and history of classic snowmobiles—the machines many folks around here grew up riding and the stories that go along with them. From early sled designs to how snowmobiling culture developed in Vermont and New Hampshire, it’s a fun look back at the roots of winter recreation in our region.
Then the conversation turns toward one of Vermont’s most iconic traditions—the start of sugaring season. Willy shares what producers are watching for right now and how weather conditions affect the sap run as maple season begins.
Plus, we bring you the Snowmobile Trail Report for both sides of the Connecticut River and the Fairbanks Museum Outdoor Edge Forecast to help you plan your next trip outdoors.
