Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, January 23, 2025

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

For those who grew up through winters of the past, the one we are currently enduring across Central and Northern New York may likely be a reminder of how things used to be – cold and snowy!

Temperatures have remained well below freezing for the most part over the last several days and grooming fleets have been out all across the local region.

Some trail systems have started showing some thin spots, but the conditions overall remain consistently good.
