A snowmobile travels a newly-groomed trail in 2012 in East Montpelier, Vt.

For many people, the sound of whizzing motors, blowing snow, and skis carving through the path is the soundtrack of winter. Snowmobile enthusiasts say their sport is one of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors in the wintertime. Others complain about the noise.

We’ll talk to to Matt Tetreault, interim Executive Director of Vermont Association of Snow Travelers about the current state of the sport in Vermont

Also on the show, we'll hear the latest in our series, Dorothy's List: stories about the books that are nominated for the Dorothy Canfield Fisher children’s book award. This month's book is a biography called, Temple Grandin: How the Girl Who Loved Cows, Embraced Autism and Changed The World.

Broadcast live on Monday, March 3rd at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
