SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/31
Tom is out on trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley this morning and rates it as good. No water holes on this stretch to watch for, thankfully.
Ride safe!
Thanks Tom!❄️❄️❄️
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/30
Sharing the not so great news from today.
Groomer Mike P went from the Soo south to 12 mile on trail 49 today. As you can see, there are water holes that are still giving us a hard time on this trail. He says this one is behind the county garage, a little south of the power station as you’re heading South out of the Soo. He says this one is at least 2.5 feet deep.
South of 12 mile remains really wet and deep through the beaver swamp and we won’t be grooming down that way until it freezes up really good. Mike did the best he could to push snow into the more shallow wet spots to hopefully help get them frozen. He urges riders to be extra cautious on this trail. We do have an extended period of cold coming finally so that will help a bunch.
Additionally, we have a groomer that is down in the Kinross area so there is no grooming south of 12 mile at this time.
Definitely still early season and all of the troubles that come along with it but there is still plenty of trail to ride if you want to get out. Trails are icy after rain last weekend and a little snow on top. We are doing the best we can with what we have to work with.
Ride safe and pay attention to wet
areas and slippery corners.
If you see a hazard out there that we haven’t posted about, please message us to let us know.
Thanks all. Hope to have better news soon! ❄️❄️❄️
Thank you Mike P and all volunteers!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/31/25
A couple of our volunteers, Lane and Dennis, made it out for an 180 mile ride from the Pickford area all the way to Cut River and places in between today, even up trail 49 from Kinross!
They definitely encountered some low hanging branches, but no major downed trees and they were surprised how well the trails have held up!
Love to see our hard working volunteers out enjoying themselves on this last official day of an amazing season!
Are you done riding for the season? Where was your last ride? #soo #snowphotos

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/31/25
Last day of the official season, and oh what a season it has been!
We did see significant icing last night, followed by about 2” of snow. I’m sure the trails are icy under the snow. It looks like areas to our northwest such as Paradise and Pine Stump got mostly snow. I would imagine that there are low hanging and broken branches and downed trees in spots, but we were very fortunate based on what I have seen in the Gaylord and Alpena areas.
Please keep your eye on those clubs pages. They may need some assistance in the coming weeks. I’ll share if I hear of anything.
We got very lucky here. If you’re out and about getting those last rides in, please be safe!
Remember, trails on public lands do not close, but will not be groomed. After today, please be mindful of where you are riding to be sure you are not trespassing. We will get gates closed as soon as we can on private property.
Ride safe! Thank you to all who have visited our area and supported or local businesses, to all of our members, donors, our volunteers, and especially the landowners who so graciously allow access on their property! We appreciate you all!
Thank you for helping make it a great season!! #soo #snowphotos3/31/25
