Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/15
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/15
A beautiful sunrise this morning while groomer Warren was making his way along the road to groom by Bay Mills Resort & Casino
Here’s his report-
“889 loop to the casino and the Brimley grade are still looking great I saw no bare spots and the base is great, still a 7/10. If we get snow, should be a great weekend down on this end🤙🏾🤙🏾road down to casino is bare dry but snow will help”
Another little bonus in our area, especially as we approach the spring equinox, is the higher likelihood of northern lights. I was lucky enough to be out at Point Iroquois Lighthouse near Bay Mills last night to witness them along with a few of our volunteers. Another excellent place to see them is at the Mission Hill Overlook on trail 889 when conditions are right.
Get up here and enjoy! ❄️❄️❄️

Good morning!
Groomer Dave ran from the Soo to Brimley today. This is his report-
“Groomed Soo to Brimley this morning. There is a lot of ice for the first mile or so leaving the Soo. But other than that, everything is still white. Grass and bare spots are starting to form along the edges. Today may take a toll though, with the temperature getting up to 40.”
The most recent winter storm watch update says 6-13” from Thursday to Saturday. If this pans out, it’s going to be an epic weekend!❄️🤞🍀
Bring it on!!!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/20/26
Good evening! Brimley Bill brought the Pisten Bully in to the Soo barn from Raco via trail 8 and groomed along the way. After 6”+ of new snow yesterday, the berms at the road crossings needed to be cleared.
He did a great job and the trail is flat, wide, and beautiful tonight!
The Bully is in for a thaw and an oil change and it’ll be back out to Raco tomorrow night.
Thanks Bill! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0120b #snowphotos

Lane was out on 49 from Kinross north to 8 mile tonight. We’ve changed this route some, and our Kinross crew is running north to 8 mile, and the Soo crew is running south to 8 mile.
Looking great! No water holes! 🙌🏼
Thank you Lane!❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0120 #snowphotos
