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 >> 12/29/25
Hey everyone!
Please know that we will get groomers out as soon as it makes sense to do so, meaning once our volunteers can get themselves and their homes dug out.
As we have been sharing, many area businesses are closed as the entire area tries to dig out. The winds have caused heavy drifting, and we had heavy freezing rain right up until the snow hit overnight. Again, there will be trees down, and you will encounter heavy drifting. Anywhere that trails cross roads will have large berms from plows that you’ll have to navigate. The snow is heavy and wet, and getting stuck is highly likely, especially for less experienced riders.
Please be patient and be cautious. We will get things back into shape as soon as we can, but we need to prioritize our own homes and businesses first.
Things should be awesome once we can get the trails cleared and groomed.
Thanks all! #soo

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/29/25
Good morning everyone! Freezing rain switched over to snow around 11 pm here. We picked up around 6” so far. Trees were coated with ice before the snow hit, and winds have picked up so I have no doubt that there will be trees down.
There will also be large drifts in the open areas. We know that people are here to ride, and we are advising extreme caution if you head out, especially until we can get out and assess the trails.
Surrounding areas, please check in with what you’re seeing for new snow as this storm continues.
Thanks all! Be safe! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo1229 #snowphotos12/29/25

Using this to gauge our starting point for the incoming storm here in the Soo. The location for this measurement is just off of trail 8 as you head west out of the Soo, about 3 miles from downtown. Lake effect snow can and does vary widely, so we appreciate any snow reports tomorrow and on.
We can hear the ice hitting the trees and hard surfaces currently. Businesses are closing early and some are already closing for tomorrow.
It appears that it will switch to snow around 10pm tonight when temps also start to drop.
PLEASE be safe. First responders are asking people not to travel unless absolutely necessary. #soo #soo1228 #snowphotos12/28/25 5:30 PM update
