Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/14
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/14
Good evening!
Bill was out on the Raco – Brimley route today. This is 8, the power lines, and part of 480.
Here’s his report-
“I groomed the power lines in RACO, trail #8 from RACO to Brimley, and a portion of #480 (Spile Dam Rd).
The trails are really holding up well. Getting to the trails is an issue, with all the snow gone from sections along roads, but once on the trails, they are looking good. If we receive the forecasted winter storm later this week, the trails will be in great shape for the weekend.”
Fingers crossed! Thanks Bill! We’re not ready to hang up the tracks yet! ❄️🍀🤞

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/21/26
Good morning! Bryan and his son Logan hit the city trails last night and also 49 down to 7 mile and they turned out great! The little streams behind Kewadin Casino are still flowing (see the video in the comments) even with all of the cold, but our bridges have made a huge difference in there! There is one spot along the Kewadin trail that is soft and we keep filling it in as best we can. Likely a nonissue for the weight of a sled, but worth mentioning.
Thank you Bryan and Logan!!❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0121b #snowphotos

Groomer Pat hit the Kinross east loop this evening. This is 49 south of M80 and the 494 loop (one of my favorites!)
Looking beautiful! Thank you Pat! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0121 #snowphotos

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! 🙌🏼
