DEERFIELD VALLEY STUMP JUMPERS SNOWMOBILE CLUB
TMA (Trail Maintenance Assessment) APPLICATION AND CLUB
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL
Greetings,
After a most eventful summer the 2011/2012 snowmobiling season is getting underway. For a while it seemed that there could be no season, but, only after weeks of Herculean effort by volunteer workers are we able to open. On the trail you will find re-decked bridges and new culverts which were needed to restore the damaged infrastructure. . Now, all we need is some of the white stuff early.
This season the VAST prices for TMA(s) have increased. This is necessary because last year’s grooming fund outlays exceeded budget due to the excellent snow conditions which made the grooming season longer. Additionally the North Country suffered catastrophic rains in the spring and of course we in the south have Irene’s legacy to pay for. Still you will be able to take advantage of the “early bird” prices to save some dollars.
In any case, it is late October and there is snow in the forecast.-. We on the membership team promise to do the utmost to provide a problem free transaction should you choose to renew by mail. To make our deadline with the VAST office, it is a must that we receive your renewal postmarked no later that December 15th. There can be no exceptions since the club is expected to close the “early bird” transactions by 12/26.
In the past several seasons TMA(s) have been “lost” in the mail. The club is liable for all TMA(s) consigned to us. It is becoming more difficult for the club to absorb any extra costs. As we plan to staff the club trailer in mid November, it will be possible for you to pick up your TMA(s) in person. Please indicate you preference on the renewal application.
Following are the schedule of rates in effect for the 2011/2012 season:

In all cases the Stump Jumper club dues are applicable to each snowmobile irrespective of the TMA being purchased. Club dues once again remain unchanged for 2011/2012 at $20 per sled. Perhaps you might consider making or increasing a past donation to the Stump Jumpers which will be used to help defray the cost of the massive repairs.
Please utilize the enclosed form to indicate the TMA plan applicable to you. Fill out all the pertinent information and return to me with your payment at your earliest opportunity. If you have questions contact me at home on (802)464-8211 or leave a voicemail message at (802)464-0042.
Thank you

LIMITED LIABILITY STATEMENT/Personal Liability Insurance
As a member of a snowmobile club I, the undersigned, owner of the snowmobile(s) described above, am liable for the use of a trail in conformance with the snowmobile laws and rules of the state of Vermont. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I declare that I am well aware of the risks related to the presence of tree branches, stones and soil on the trail as well as the risks related to the maintenance and signing of a trail. I also pledge that I will inform any person to whom I would lend or rent the snowmobile that I own, of the risks mentioned above and will advise them that the association, the club or the owner of the trail do not assume any responsibility for the damages they could undergo while using a trail.
As of September 1, 2003, every individual operating a snowmobile in Vermont is required to have personal liability insurance.
