Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/15
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/15 So my plan was to walk over to trail 8 after work to check it out but it is snowing and blowing pretty good right now so I’ll be honest- I don’t feel like it. It is cold!🥶 Not much to report trail wise right now but here’s what happened with the “big rain” here- We got a little bit overnight for sure. Not much at all today, mainly just mist. At about 3:30, it started raining somewhat heavily and then quickly switched over to all snow at about 3:40. Winds started really picking up and blew the snow in from the west. The temp went from 37 to 28 with a real feel of 10. We have light snow now which appears to be Lake Effect. With the drastic drop in temps, trails *may* start to ice up. We are under a flash freeze warning currently. As I have been saying, the Lake Effect is the wild card. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not it’ll pile up. Hoping by this time tomorrow I’ll have snowfall to report.❄️❄️❄️ <> Good morning all, It definitely rained overnight. Hard to say how much in all areas. I went to bed around 11 and it hadn’t started yet in the Soo. I woke up at 6 and it was done. Radar shows another round of rain that will just miss us, staying west. I have no idea what the trails look like since we are not grooming. I will take a drive after work to the spots where the trails cross the roads to see what I can see. Any brave souls out riding, please let us know what you see. Snow gauge reads 20”, down from 22” yesterday. Snow forecast is still up in the air. AccuWeather still shows 3-6”, John Dee shows 1-4”, others say 1” or so. Only time will tell. I’ll share as much as I know as things move along. <> <> Sault Ste.

I just spoke with the groomer boss and we are still on pause as we wait to see what we’ll be working with.
I cannot decide for you if your trip is worth it or not. All I can do is keep updating on what we’re seeing. Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
