Mount Holly Snow Flyers Announce the "Ultimate Build Battle" Across the Mount Holly and VAST Trail Network

MOUNT HOLLY, VT — The Mount Holly Snow Flyers (MHSF) are calling on all citizens, families, riders and winter enthusiasts to brainstorm and help make our area festive with the Snow Flyers Ultimate Build Battle. Starting today and running through March 29th, the club is turning Mount Holly and their local VAST (Vermont Association of Snow Travelers) trail junctions into an open-air art gallery.

This interactive event encourages community citizens to get into the snow to create the most imaginative snow creatures, snowmen, or sculptures Mount Holly has ever seen.

How to Join the Battle:

The contest is designed to be easy to enter while exploring the beautiful Mount Holly area and trail system:

  • BUILD: Construct your masterpiece within the Mount Holly town limits and/or at any VAST junction within the Mount Holly Snow Flyers' network.
  • DOCUMENT: Take a high-quality photo of your creation. Crucial: The photo must clearly show the VAST Junction Number and/or the 911 location so the judges can verify the location.
  • POST: Upload your photo to the Mount Holly Snow Flyers Facebook page to officially enter or email us at mounthollysnowflyers@gmail.com.

The Grand Prize

Creativity is the name of the game. The builder of the most impressive or unique snow sculpture will be crowned the Ultimate Build Battle Champion and will receive a $100 gift card to DJ's Restaurant!

"We wanted to give people a fun reason to stop, take in the scenery, and leave a little bit of magic on the trails and it town," said President Dale Sutherland. "Whether it's a giant Prinoth groomer, a trail-side yeti, or a classic frosty, we want to see Mount Holly's creativity on full display. You do not have to be a snowmobiler – build it in Mount holly or just find one of our junctions and start building!"

Event Guidelines

  • Deadline: All entries must be posted by midnight on March 29th.
  • Safety First: Please ensure sculptures are built safely off the groomed path/roadway to keep trails clear for passing cars/riders.
  • Leave No Trace: Use only natural snow and ice; please refrain from using non-biodegradable decorations (or take down the items on 3/30/26).

Grab your gear, get creative, and let it snow!
