Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Wednesday, January 14, 2026

More good and bad news… first with the good: significant cold is forecasted across the entire eastern coast for the second-half of January, and that means the North Country, too.

As a bonus, it looks like Mother Nature will allow for some more snow accumulation this week across the Tug Hill Plateau (though nothing major – they’re calling for 5-10-inches through early Friday, with lesser accumulation across the lower elevations).

Now for the bad news… trails have been spotty and iffy as of late.

Some clubs here locally have completely shut down altogether to preserve their base. With that said, there is still riding to be had.

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