Trail Maintenance Assessment (TMA)
The Deerfield Valley Stump Jumpers online TMA purchase process from previous years was fairly straightforward. The new TMA process that we all now have to follow is a directive from VAST. We hope you find the new VAST process as easy or even better going forward.

2. If you would like to change state of registration
Owners wishing to change the state of registration to Vermont can make use of the service at Fat City Motor Worx during their business hours or visiting any Vermont DMV office. You should be aware that Vermont registrations are not honored by any other state in the northeast…if you plan to snowmobile out of state at any time during the season you should consider retaining the out of state registration.
