Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Friday, January 16, 2026

Cold, cold and… more cold.

It looks like our January thaw is over and Mother Nature is circling back with another arctic blast of air (though, it is the middle of winter). Despite the promising flip in the weather pattern, the trails have been inconsistent for the most part. Generally speaking, the North Country region could really use another good dumping of fresh snowfall. We will keep an eye on the forecast. In the meantime, there is still riding to be had. Here are some of the latest trail reports we’ve gathered from around the local area:
