Snowmobilers Boost Local Economy: Hotel Rooms Filled

Posted: Updated:
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. -

All of the snow that's recently fallen from the sky has made for the perfect snowmobiling trail conditions.

But not only are outdoor enthusiasts rejoicing, so are the hotels that those trails are near!

The Ho-Hum Motel for example, in South Burlington struggled last season from the lack of snow. This weekend, they've been at capacity!

And the majority of their guests are snowmobilers!

The Ho-Hum Motel Manager thinks this is a sign that the economy is turning itself around.

"You wouldn't be wasting money on a hotel room if you didn't have the extra money, so I think it's looking bright, I'm very hopeful for the future," Rennie Love said.

Other hotels along Shelburne Road agree... and say they've been handing out a record number of snowmobile trail maps this weekend.
