Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, February 27, 2025

Snowmobiling 2025 marches on across upstate New York and the North Country.

The general North Country region is experiencing its first legitimate thaw since early January (mind you, a colder weekend is forecasted, according to the NWS).

Could this be the beginning of the end?

The past two months have simply been second to none – the best riding in decades. Overall, the snowpack still remains very healthy from Central New York to the North Country and Western Adirondacks, but there have been whispers of Robbins starting to show up not too far away, and that typically means that spring is drawing near.

Expect some trail systems to show some sort of decline in their conditions (but keep in mind, there is still plenty of riding to be had).

Here are some of the latest reports we’ve gathered from around the local area:
