Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Wednesday, January 21, 2026

The second-half of January (so far) is about as old-fashioned of a winter as one can get, at-least when it comes to the cold.

The snow guns have fired up this week across the Tug Hill Plateau (the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Tug Hill region through this Friday).

Some very impressive snow measurements have been accounted for west and north of Lowville, NY.

Elsewhere, there are some trail systems in need of another dumping of fresh snowfall.

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