Bryant M. Watson, VAST Executive Director Retires

It’s Been a Great Ride! The Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, Inc. (VAST) wishes to announce that effective Friday, January 27 Bryant M. Watson, VAST Executive Director will retire after more than 20 years of service to VAST.

Bryant says, “As I look back over the 20-years that I have served the association, I have a lot of great and fond memories, memories that I will not soon forget. When I became the Executive Director of VAST, in 1993, budgets were very meager! I am proud of the growth that the association has seen, since that time budgets have increased more than five fold. The trail has not always been a well groomed one, a little bumpy at times, and there have been growing pains along the way that we have all had to endure. It has been my extreme pleasure to work with all of the VAST volunteers that make the Vermont Statewide Snowmobile Trail System (SSTS) the best of the best, unmatched by any. Thank you all for the opportunity that I have had, especially the landowners who so generously and selflessly give their land to make the SSTS a reality. Good luck in the future, and we’ll see you on the Trails!!!”
