Holly cow, MARCH already. Seems like the winter hasn’t even really started, and it is March already. As you have heard, we finally got a real winter storm yesterday, kinda like a December storm to tell you the truth. Got around 4-5″ of good very heavy snow, and huge winds. Things are mostly covered out there, but the thin spots are still a little thin as the winds swept the snow through. The groomers are trying to pull snow along and pack it into those areas on todays and tomorrows runs. Groomers will run everyday through Saturday night, so the trails should be very good to great after they blow the snow drifts out. Wayne found some thin areas, and also drifts as high as the blade on the North loop last night, Dave is out in the Iggy machine now, and I will update the Southern loop when he gets in.

Things are looking up, and we should have a couple of weeks of great riding ahead of us with the snow we have, anything more over the weekend will be gravy.

03/01 – The big storm from yesterday was almost a dud! A little snow, a lot of blowing and drifting though. But another storm is heading our way for Friday, 6-10 inches. Let’s hope. Trails are in great shape, we are out getting the snow & drifts groomed! – Via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association on Facebook

Blowing and drifting from the storm today. We got 2-3 inches of fresh snow but its hard to tell. Trails are in very rideable condition. Conditions still range from fair to excellent! The farther south the less snow, the farther west and north more snow and better trails. Road shoulders may be bare from sunshine if you run roads or going thru Brimley..

Our Radar Run was a great success with a top speed of 101.
