Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 03/06
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 03/06
3/6/25
Ok folks, more mixed news. The Soo saw rain all day yesterday. We got maybe 2”, of snow (probably less), at my place last night, and even less to our south toward kinross. 49 south of basically 9 mile was already really thin so I’m sure the rain took a real toll on it. What’s left is likely solid ice over dirt.
Now for the good news! The snow line was just to the west of the Soo. These pics are from Turbo this morning. These are from the road, looking at the trail crossings in the Bay Mills area. They received more snow than the Soo for sure, and the 889 loop was groomed this morning. If you’re staying Bay Mills Resort & Casino, you should still have decent riding heading west out of there.
We’ll keep updating!
Thanks for the pics, Turbo!
Any local snow reports are welcome so that we have a better picture of what surrounding areas look like.

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/28/26
Good morning everyone!
While we certainly didn’t need the warm and sun yesterday, our hard working volunteers were itching to go as soon as temps dropped.
Our first report comes from Warren-
“We went out at 1 AM. Club member Steve & myself at 27 degrees did 480 from the Spile Dam turnaround, and 8 all the way to Brimley and back as well as the electric lines. I think everybody’s gonna be real happy with that, it cleaned up really well. I finished up at about 19° and then left the Groomer for turbo. Turbo is gonna hit the 889 loop and Brimley grade so I think everybody will be ready to go by about 7:30 - 8 o’clock for all of our trails out this way.”
Thank you, Warren & Steve!!❄️❄️❄️
Trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley will be done tonight, the city trails were done yesterday, and will be done again tomorrow night. I’ll update when I hear from the Kinross crew as well, but I know that everything was done on Thursday ahead of the warm up.
Be safe all and enjoy!
Hope to see some of you at the Radar Run at The Cozy Corners Barbeau MI today! The fun starts at noon! See their page for more info! #soo #soo0228 #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Strong westerly winds develop this afternoon and evening, with winds gusting up to 60 mph in the Keweenaw and 45 mph for the remainder of the northern UP near the Superior shoreline. Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines. Power outages are possible. Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.
Temperatures will plummet tonight, setting up a seasonably cold weekend with some light lake effect snow for the northwest wind belts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dry with some peeks of sun to start today. Another quick-hitter system passes through this afternoon, bringing some snow showers, some of which could be heavy at times. Be prepared for wintry driving conditions later today! We then briefly trend warm Friday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryDry with some peeks of sun to start today.

Good morning all!
We didn’t end up with as much new snow as we wanted out of the system, but lake effect is lingering a bit. I show about 4” of new snow here in the Soo. It looks like just west us (Brimley/Raco) got a little more.
Once operators are out rolling and send me updates, I’ll be sure to share!
Thank you! #soo #soo0225 #snowphotos2/25/26

Wow! That's a ton of snow! Just one more good snowfall and the measuring stick disappears 🙂
