Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Tuesday, February 20, 2024

Sled traffic seems to have been very busy since the weekend. Several trail systems have re-opened and grooming crews have been active all over.

With that said, there are reports of certain hazards, including water holes. In general, it appears the latest batch of snow was very light and fluffy, meaning it has been difficult to re-establish a base for some clubs. In addition, there have been numerous complaints where snowmobilers have been blatantly disregarding closed trails and riding on private property. Such actions could result in trail closures, club officials warn. Here are the latest reports we’ve gathered:
