Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, January 22, 2026
The second-half of January (so far) is about as old-fashioned of a winter as one can get, at-least when it comes to the cold.
The snow guns have fired up this week across the Tug Hill Plateau (the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Tug Hill region through this Friday).
Some very impressive snow measurements have been accounted for west and north of Lowville, NY.
Fortunately, some additional snowfall has also started to accumulate for certain trail systems needing an extra boost.
Here are some of the latest trail reports we’ve gathered from around the local area (check out the latest NYSSA map here):
