Vermont Off-Rodeo May Be Coming to Suicide Six Ski Area [Update: Nixed by Local Residents]

[jxc]

How many drivers are they expecting per day? I doubt the impact will be nearly as large as people are picturing since you are required to use Ford supplied vehicles. I hope they tried to make that a point in their arguments. It's not going to be a another KOH mob.

But if not, please pick the coal country in eastern PA. - FRO / AOAA / Rausch. A bit more centrally located for the east coast.

Following outcry from residents just days after the plan became public, the Woodstock Inn and Resort has abandoned a proposal to introduce an off-road driving school at the resort’s Suicide Six ski area.

Always drama in the small towns. There have been some missteps in the planning for sure. Land Rover has a 'school' in VT and there is also a Jeep 'school'. The advertising of the Bronco Off-Rodeo as an "Adventure Playground" might be causing some of the rub. I really hope it gets worked out because I do think this would be good for both Bronco people and the locals. After all, 18 cars twice a day is nothing compared to Ski season.

You read my mind.

Poconos would be great! So much closer.

But I love me some VT. So would welcome the excuse to get away for a few days. Maybe even leave the kids and wife behind. (if Mrs. PowPow joins... I'm just kidding, trying to look cool in front of my new friends!)

They should just do it at one of the existing off-road parks in ME. Haven't been to any of them (yet) but wouldn't it just make sense to use an existing park with at least the trail infrastructure?

It makes sense to me . I havent been to any yet either, but looking forward to it.

I grew up skiing this mountain. Great locals spot!! Nice to know I can visit the folks when I go to the event.

Holy Shit I didn't know all these Mainers where on Bronco6g, lets hit a off road park

Time to change the title of the post (since the town council booted the proposal). Maybe something like "Pomfret pees on Bronco Parade"

boo! just saw the follow up article. i hope they are able to find another site in the area that was only 45 mins to where i would be staying.
Asctuney is an awesome mountain which would be cool to have it at but i'm not sure if they would be interested seeing as the ski side is owned by multiple towns and not for profit so repairing trails could be costly but the $$$ from hosting would help them out too.

Sounds like par for the course in small town Vermont.

My money is back on 4x4Center in Bolton. Everything is already there..
I live on nearby dirt roads to Bolton and have seen zero off-road shenanigans, let alone off road rigs at all, that a lot of NIMBY VTers are probably clutching their pearls over.

Can't wait to but I'm going to be pretty late delivery and my current vehicle can't manage the trails, unfortunately. We should get everyone together and hit some public land after delivery! I was just out on the trails camping in a buddy's 2nd gen Tacoma last weekend. Avoided some muddy trails so we didn't mess them up for the season but there's already some good wheeling to be had.

Let's get a Maine group going, sounds like fun and being a newbie I can learn from you guys (-:

I joined the New England group: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/groups/new-england-broncos.21/

I figured there might not be that many of us up in Maine but we should absolutely get some trails in post delivery.
