Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, February 22, 2024

And just like that, riding conditions have taken another dramatic downturn after a brief window where the trails were pretty decent overall.

High temperatures have climbed back up well above freezing and despite a forecasted cold snap this Saturday, it appears that predicted high temperatures are expected to soar back up into the 40’s and 50’s by the middle of next week.

Some snowmobile clubs have closed their trail systems. Several reports suggest that the overall snow coverage has thinned down significantly this week.
