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

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/25/26
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

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/28

1/28/25
Just in from Brimley Bill after his run tonight-

“Tonight I groomed trail 480 from Raco to the Spile Dam Rd turnaround, and trail 8 on the Raco powerline and then to Brimley.

There is a lot of fresh snow from a storm that started around noon. Everything smoothed out pretty nice. There was a lot of drifting just west of Brimley where the trail is next to open fields. I was able to knock down and smooth out the drifts. It’s still windy though, so the drifts could be back by morning. Riders should use caution in this area.”

We are grooming every day this week, and some trails even 2x per day since it’s a busy week here for the race!

Get out and ride! ❄🏁❄😔🏁
