SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/23

1/23/25
Some pics from Warren today in the Raco and Bay Mills areas on part of 480, part of 8, and the 889 loop. Things just keep getting better and better! I almost don’t know what to do with myself with all of these excellent reports!

Looks like this season will be one of our best!

Groomer is headed from the Soo to Kinross on 49 this evening to complete “the loop”.

We hope you get to get out to enjoy it! ❄️❄️❄️

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

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 Trail Report – 01/22

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/22

1/22/25
Looking awesome in the southern part of our trail system! Thanks to groomer Pat for running the Kinross east loop. This is 49 south of M80, and the 494 loop around the Kinross airport, one of my favorite loops!
Around 3” of new snow down that way was enough to really freshen it up!

Still a bit thin around 20 Mile, south of where 49 and 494 meet. Otherwise, he calls the loop excellent!
Looking awesome, thanks Pat! ❄️❄️❄️

Sorry for the delay guys! Busy day at work for me. Here are a few pics from this morning on 889 from Warren, and the city trails from Bryan last night.

Big thanks to Pete and Bryan for doing some work on the drag. We are making it last as long as we can, but we are in dire need of at least one new drag. Hopefully, we’ll be eligible the next go around for equipment🤞

Things are really good to excellent over our entire system now. As a reminder, we turn around north of Rudyard, but we know many riders like to know the conditions there. They have unfortunately not received any new snow for a bit. Hopefully that changes soon! Trout Lake is also out of our area, but they got a much needed 8-12” today! Woo hoo!

We have a few thin spots closer to Kinross on 49, but othersie all areas have really good snow coverage.

Enjoy! ❄❄❄
