Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, January 30, 2025

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

We are nearing the month of February already and Mother Nature has certainly been relentless for when it comes to cold and snow, so far, this season.

In the wake of another snow system earlier in the week, several snowmobile clubs across the local region have sent their grooming fleets out to pack-in fresh snowfall.

Based on the reports we’ve gathered and speaking with snowmobilers, it seems that overall conditions have ranged from good to excellent for the entire month of January (which is remarkable considering such an inconsistent weather pattern over the last decade or so).

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