Hope this communication finds everyone well. We enter the weekend and less than a month away before the FOOTHILLS ATV RIDERS INC. trail system shuts down for hunting season on October 1, 2025, until Dec 31, 2025, at 1159pm. There are places that remain open. Locations in the Vermont ATV Sportsman’s Association Inc. (VASA) system remain open, check their website for closing dates. Hilltown Riders OHV Club are open year around. If you would like to learn more, privately message me.
FINALLY: I feel confident enough to say our Mobile App site is a mirror image of the web browser image that can be accessed in two ways. From your mobile device, using your web browser (DUCKDUCKGO most secure) of your choice or using the Club Express App. that you can download in both Android & iOS format from your app store. There is a notification system in App so be sure to turn that on to get the latest information. Once you have logged into the App you will stay connected until you log out of it, which I think is a nice feature. You can do anything on the mobile app that is available on a Desktop Computer. Track events through the Events Calendar, build a photo album to share with other club members. Update your profile, and other features, stop in and check out what I have setup.
VIDEOS: There is a video page setup where I have created Membership Application Part 1 & Part 2 to help everyone navigate the website. Also available to members who have logged in are members only videos. Navigating the mobile app is the same as the web browser and desktop versions. I have found that between the mobile version and the desktop versions there are very few operational issues and 99.9% is operator error and that's ok, I do understand, the reason for the videos. Moving forward I will be putting together tutorials to help people navigate the Mobile App.
MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS: As of this membership season, all membership applications are submitted & handled through the website. As board members, the work load is crazy and this makes our jobs much easier providing members do their part. Which brings me to the next issue. So many have not updated their applications and provided the proper documentation. Today I went through all memberships in the database and made everyone active, so it makes things easier for members to complete the application and get their documents submitted. The process is pretty easy and can be done using your mobile device, so, C’mon people, let’s get this done.
LASTLY: Tonight is the Foothills ATV Riders Inc. “Night Ride & Cookout”, looking forward to see those who have RSVP’d for the event. There is one more event scheduled this month, check out the Events Calendar and get signed up if you plan to attend. If you plan on attending the event or even riding the trail system at any time, you must update your membership application.
SO, everyone, have a safe weekend no matter what your plans are and remember when riding the Foothills ATV Riders Inc. trail system helmets are required for everyone.
