SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/28

12/28- the light rain continued through the night here in the Soo. Down to 10” here off of trail 8. When I’m out and about later, I’ll check some trail crossings to give you a visual. My gravel driveway is down to a thick ice base, so I imagine trails are similar.

We’ll be dealing with much of the same until Tuesday, then things start to get back to normal on Wednesday. The chance for significant lake effect snow kicks in too🤞

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

Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 12/28

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn – 12/28

🌨 Trail Update – Ontonagon 🌨
The recent days have been tough on the trails, with the warmer weather taking a toll. Trails close to the lakeshore are in rough shape, but you’ll find slightly better conditions in the higher elevations.
⛔️ We strongly recommend staying off the trails this weekend to let them recover and prevent further damage.
❄️ Good news ahead! Lane at Midwest Weather is anticipating a significant amount of snow in the forecast towards the end of this week. Fresh snow is on its way, and brighter days for riding are just around the corner!
We’ll keep you updated as conditions improve. Stay tuned and get ready to hit the trails when the snow comes through!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP – 12/28

Ope, we’re suggesting you’se guys better not be adventuring out on the sled trails rights now. We’ve had light rain, 34*F temps, 39* high today, more light rain/drizzle through midday. Trails along road ditches will be very hazardous with ponding from the rain/melting. We did seem to get spared somewhat with the heaviest rain!! At the end of this post are google map locations of GIANT waterfalls to come visit in lieu of riding!

ARE TRAILS RUINED? NO! Trails along roadway ditches and in the swamps will need major attention once the flowing water subsides. Trails in the woods on good surfaces will rebound quickly with some fresh snow, much of our Porcupine Mountain trails remain WHITE! Early January riding is totally in the realm of reality as long as we get a good blast of snow.

Looking for other things to do today or tomorrow? How about a car ride Waterfall Tour!

Bond Falls – Paulding
PARK: https://maps.app.goo.gl/J29owxWtyGRcYxNz7
NOTES: The drive down to the parking area may be barricaded. I would still walk the road down if so, the trails in the woods will be treacherous.

Agate Falls – Trout Creek
PARK: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mXW34ShFnxGFCkMX6
Notes: The bridge above the falls is snowmobile trail 8.

Victoria Dam Falls – Rockland
PARK: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CFLvWVdN7MtcTfMz9
NOTES: You will walk past the yellow gate and to the RIGHT down the hill towards the falls/dam.

Thank you Hamilton’s North Coast Adventures for the image and Waterfall adventure planning! Visit The Porcupine Mountains to start planning your next adventure here!
