Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, March 16, 2023

It seems like Mother Nature and Old Man Winter are doing their best to reimburse sledders for lost time on the trails in the wake of a very poor, inconsistent riding season.

Heavy, wet snow is reported all over the region. Expect conditions to vary.
