We couldn’t agree more Joni! Thank you so much for sharing!

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/06
Good morning all! Happy Monday!
Groomer Pete was out on the city trails last night. Here’s his report from that run-
“City trails groomed tonight. This late in the season, I start wondering when my last groom will be.
It’s a balmy 25 degrees out, so the trails are freezing up hard. The quality of the snow is low, very icy. I would reccomend scratchers early and at night when the temps drop. I ran the scratchers on my sled this morning and the engine temp dropped 25 degrees. Most trails are a bit chunky, but flat. Zero sleds seen tonight, so they might even set up a little.
I saw slush in two spots. The eastern approach to the tunnel was the worst. I tried to bring some snow in on it, but there isn’t much to work with.
Road crossings and any road riding areas are bare and gravely. The Ashmun Bay trailhead was used as a slalom track by an atv rider, leaving 6” deep ruts in a zig zag pattern for its entire length. I tried to cut and fill them, hopefully that holds up. If not, watch for ruts on that trail.
The snow is melting around the hay bales previously filled in the creeks by the Kewadin Casino. The trail is still fine, but you can see the sides of the hay bales now.
Overall, the city trails are holding up really well. The base is thick and frozen. Only a few corners are worn down, and there is plenty of snow in the berms for the groomers to bring down. After seeing some other areas by sled today, I’m Very happy with the condition of our trails.
Get your riding in, and do your snow dances please! I’d like a few more grooms this season.
Oh, and I cut the exposed mat at the tunnel entrance!”
Thank you Pete!
Snow is moving in from the southeast this morning but we’re not supposed to get much.

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... See MoreSee Less
