The St Johnsbury CDJR Outdoor Edge Show

The Stories Behind One of New England’s Most Loved Mountains

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we bring together a mix of North Country history and springtime tradition.
Gary Moore sits down with Robert W. Averill, longtime historian and author focused on Mount Moosilauke, to explore the stories, people, and legacy behind one of the region’s most iconic mountains. From early visitors to the evolution of the trails and traditions, it’s a conversation that adds a whole new layer to a place many of us know well.
We also head out into the field for our Sugaring Report, this time visiting Oliver’s Sugarhouse in West Groton, where we talk with Troy Oliver about how the maple season is shaping up and what it’s been like on the ground as the sap starts to run.
Plus, Mark Breen from the Fairbanks Museum joins us with the Outdoor Edge Forecast to help you plan your time outside.

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we’ve got a conversation that stretches from the Northeast Kingdom all the way to the far ends of the Earth.
Gary Moore sits down with three North Country adventurers—Dr. Joyce Dobbertin of St. Johnsbury and Patty Emery and Larissa Flynn of Lyndon—to talk about their recent trip to Antarctica, along with other incredible hiking and travel experiences from around the world. It’s a reminder that even from small-town Vermont, big adventures are always within reach.
We also check in on a tradition much closer to home with our Sugaring Report, featuring a conversation with Mark Isselhardt, UVM Extension Maple Specialist, on how this year’s maple season is shaping up and what producers are watching for as the sap begins to run.

This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, Josh Smith and Gary Moore bring you a conversation that feels right at home in the North Country.
Gary sits down with William “Willy” Minot to talk about the nostalgia and history of classic snowmobiles—the machines many folks around here grew up riding and the stories that go along with them. From early sled designs to how snowmobiling culture developed in Vermont and New Hampshire, it’s a fun look back at the roots of winter recreation in our region.
Then the conversation turns toward one of Vermont’s most iconic traditions—the start of sugaring season. Willy shares what producers are watching for right now and how weather conditions affect the sap run as maple season begins.
Plus, we bring you the Snowmobile Trail Report for both sides of the Connecticut River and the Fairbanks Museum Outdoor Edge Forecast to help you plan your next trip outdoors.
