SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 03/05

3/5/25
It’s not pretty folks. Big thanks to Turbo for sending these pics of the trail crossings on 8 from the Soo to Brimley. All rain here today. South of the soo, trailso are showing dirt in Kinross😔 Snow is supposedly moving in, and it’s going to get cold so the trails will be solid ice.

We’ll keep you posted! Just west in areas such as Paradise, they were getting snow. More west was getting significant snow, so it’s out there if you want to chase it!

Hope to have better news tomorrow for our area. 🤞❄️🥶

So far, all rain here in the Soo😭

It’s supposed to switch over to snow tonight. Obviously, grooming is on pause, and trails will be very icy once temps drop and this all freezes. No doubt the trails all took a hit, but we’ll update when we can on how things shake out.

The snow line isn’t too far to our west, so areas over that way should be in much better shape.

We’ll keep you posted!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/15/25
Hey guys! Rider report from Greg regarding trail 49. If you subscribe to our system on Groomer Tracker, you can see that we have not been through there since Lane set the trail a week ago, but we’ll update once we are able to get in there.
For now, good advice from Greg👍🏼
“The trail to Kinross is a disaster right now (trail 49 from Alberta Ln in the Soo to Gaines Hwy) The power line just as you get out of town has a big wet hole and once you get past that there are holes in the farm fields. Stay out until they open it. The big swamps are fine they just have no snow. The trails in kinross are good. Everything other than Soo to kinross is amazing”
We’ll keep you posted! #soo

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 03/05

3/5/25
34 degrees this morning and raining….WTH? It looks like it might change to wet snow a little later today and then the temps will drop into the 20`s tonight. I guess all I can say is keep an eye on the weather….I know ya`ll do anyhow.

All trails were run yesterday and I talked with every operator and they all said the same thing…..the trails are still in great shape!!!! Even groomer Mike C. who ran the Point trails let the excellent word slip out and I have never heard him say that!!! Yes, they are a little mushy but they are flat!!!!! With the drags that we use we can groom in this warmer weather. With the colder temps at night they will be good to go. I think this weekend will be fine, just expect the paved roads to be bare and the plowed dirt roads that we use for connectors will be down to mud.

Unfortunately, I have a family emergency I have to attend to down state so this will be my last report till at least next week…..sorry. Hopefully somebody else will fill my shoes until I get back if something major happens.

Groomer Chris
