Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Wednesday, March 5, 2025

March has arrived and the snowmobiling season continues on across Central and Northern New York.

It is that time of year… despite an absolutely incredible snowmobiling season, now is the time when folks seriously need to start considering the fact that trail conditions can change on a day-to-day basis.

Temperatures were well above freezing on Tuesday, and forecasts for Wednesday thru Thursday call for even warmer temperatures, plus rain.

Compared to a couple of weeks ago, there is a noticeable difference decrease in the snowpack, but there is still quite a bit of snow left to go (keep in mind, some cooler temperatures are predicted for this upcoming weekend).

Considering that this season has certainly been second to none, snowmobilers are certainly going to start noticing the spring like conditions on the trails.

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