Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 12/21

Groomer Jay and I just finished the city trails. Aside from the car on trail 8 near Ashmun Bay, things look really good. We saw a little water on the trail to Kewadin as pictured, but that was honestly the worst part of the whole run. It was snowing hard for the last hour of our run.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well things held up after the warm up last week.
We keep saying it, but we truly are very pleased with where things are this early season.
Let’s hope it continues! ❄️❄️❄️

Happy Winter Solstice!!
Beautiful shots from Brimley Bill this morning on his run of parts of 480 north of M28, the Raco powerline portion of trail 8, and the 889 loop!
Fresh snow over the solid base that the thaw last week helped to create = some awesome trails!
Thank you Bill! ❄❄❄

Good morning!
Lane ran 472 west to Tilson Rd and made a huge improvement in this trail.
In a couple of weeks, we’ll finally be able to groom from there through 480 in the Spile Dam.
Please see the pinned posts for more info.
Thank you, Lane! Looking great! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0106b #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Warmer than normal temperatures are expected for the middle of the work week. A weak cold front will push some precipitation across the up this evening and tonight, with a wintry mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow possible. A quiet Wednesday and early Thursday then leads into some disturbed weather late Thursday into the weekend, beginning as some wintry mix over the south and east Thursday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaWarmer than normal temperatures are expected for the middle of the work week.

If you rode trail 49 from the Soo 12 mile prior to this week, you know what a night and day difference this is! Amazing!
Thanks to our operators who have been progressively grooming this trail. Really in nice shape now❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0106 #snowphotos

This is wild to me! Dennis just got back from his run on trail 49 from the Soo to 12 mile. I ran this route with groomer Jay for several seasons. The branches being this low on 1/5 is nuts! This entire trail was brushed, but the base is so tall now that the machine is so much higher that it’s hitting the branches that couldn’t be reached in the fall. We don’t usually see this until mid February.
We may need to organize a work bee to do some in-season brushing. I’ll share if we do!
Thank you Dennis and Chris for the ride along! #soo #soo0105a #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A fast-moving system this evening through tonight brings 4 to 8 inches of snowfall to the area. Most snow will fall within a 6 hour period with moderate to heavy snow rates (0.5 to 1+ inch per hour) and quickly reduced visibilities down to 1/4 mile or less for a 2 to 4 hour period. Snow will end overnight into early Monday morning. The Monday morning commute could be impacted, especially in the east, mainly for roads that have not been treated/cleared yet.
Late Monday night into Tuesday brings a wintry mix which could create more slick road conditions. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea

Good evening!
Beautiful work by Warren out in the Raco and Brimley areas earlier!
He reports that trail 8 from Raco to Brimley, 480 to the Spile Dam turnaround, and the powerlines are great!
I agree!! ❄️❄️❄️
