SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/11
12/11 update-
Good morning all!
Brimley Bill was out this morning very early to make his run on 8 between Brimley and Raco, and part of 480 through the Spile Dam.
Here’s his report-
“This morning while the temperature was still low, I groomed Trail 8 from Raco to Brimley, the power-line to Ranger Road, and Trail 480 part way down Spile Dam Road.
Most of the route is looking pretty good. There is a section on Trail 8 from Brimley to about halfway to Raco where the snow on the trail is getting thin. There are ponds and swampy areas on both sides of the trail. The ground isn’t frozen yet, and the snow is just soaking into the trail.
From the photos you can see a set of tracks that left deep ruts on Trail 480. The tracks started just south of M28, and continued on Trail 480 past where I turned around on Spile Dam Road. The tracks were so deep that it took two groomer passes to fill them in. The photos were taken after the first pass. You can see how deep they are, even after the first groomer pass.”
I have a message out on the local ORV club page to remind folks that this section is sled only. Hopefully, it was just a mistake and we won’t have any further issues.
Thank you Bill for your time and the report!
Again, no big snow here last night or today. Lake effect is supposed to return tomorrow. ❄❄❄

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/31 It’s a mixed bag of nuts around here. Where things are good, they are REALLY good! We just need to get to all areas and we are making progress. Beautiful images from Pat on the 494 loop this morning. Thank you, Pat! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo1231#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/31 Happy New Years Eve! Snow is ongoing in our area. I show around 3-4” new snow in the Soo so far, reports in Brimley of at least 7” new snow. A word of caution- we do not like to send groomers out during the day, but sometimes we do not have a choice. Kenny and Jim will be headed out to tackle 889 in the Bay Mills area around noon today. There are many trees down and heavy drifting. It will undoubtedly be a long run for them, and the main goal is to get things opened up. Pat is out early south of Kinross on 494. 472 west to Tilson should also be done today. As a reminder, we cannot groom past Tilson Rd on 472 due to construction equipment. Please be on the lookout for the groomers, and if you’re able to move small branches safely, we appreciate the help! Subscribe to Groomer Tracker to see where the groomers are in real time. Thank you! #soo ... See MoreSee Less
