Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/23
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/23 Good afternoon! <> Good morning all! Groomer Pete sent us this report after his run on the city trails last night. “City is groomed. Had a guest from one of our commercial supporters. Zach from Allstar Marine & Powersports wanted to see what was involved with grooming. He was a great guest and he learned a lot about the process. Maybe he will start volunteering! Anyways, I would grade the trails as good. The 3” of fresh snow Monday certainly helped, but there is still a lot of ice out there. The city plowed the north side of the airport, so there was a lot of ice and dirty snow covering half the trail. It’s better now, but please be careful going towards the I500 track and Holiday Inn. There may be some ice chunks on the trail. Thank you Pete and Zach! Always awesome to have new volunteers! ❄️❄️❄️ <> <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Facebook Page <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Trail Report on MSA <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers continue today, heaviest near and south of Grand Traverse Bay.

MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/13/25 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Bitterly cold temperatures will hang on through tonight as wind chill values remain below zero across the U.P., coldest in the west near the WI border. Lake effect snow will also continue to impact the northwest wind snowbelts, especially across the east where a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect through Sunday morning for Alger, Luce, and northern Schoolcraft Counties. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaBitterly cold temperatures will hang on through tonight as wind chill values remain below zero across the U.P., coldest in the west near the WI border.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers are expected downwind of Lake Superior through Sunday, impacting the northwest wind snowbelt areas. This snow will be very susceptible to blowing in the wind, resulting in localized visibility reductions below 1 mile at times. Make sure to drive with your headlights on, at appropriate speeds, and with extra room between yourself and other vehicles! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect snow showers are expected downwind of Lake Superior through Sunday, impacting the northwest wind snowbelt areas.

Light snow will accompany the front but generally less than an inch is expected. Behind the front temperatures will fall into the single digits above and below zero. This combined with gusty winds will bring wind chills down into the teens and twenties below zero. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for Gogebic and Iron counties tonight through Saturday morning. Lake effect snow will develop behind the front in the northwest wind snowbelts with several inches expected. Those headed outside tonight or traveling should be prepared for bitter cold and snow (in the northwest wind snowbelts). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea SAULT STE.

Anyone in the Soo and surrounding area, please comment on snow totals so far. I’m out of town still so I have no idea.
Groomer Mike P hit trail 49 from the Soo to Kinross and back AND even made it through the beaver pond with zero issues!🙌🏼🙌🏼
He sent these pics from his run today. Looking 100% better than just the other day!
Thanks Mike! Hope the snow and cold continue!❄️❄️❄️
Looking forward to seeing how much new snow we pick up the next few days. Forecasts all look promising!”Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

Another video from Pat for our off trail fans. There are some awesome spots to play in the Raco and Strongs areas. This is southwest of Raco on 12/12, before the new snow today!
Mid January conditions in early December. We are loving it! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos
Winter storm warning has been issued! We are expecting fresh snow over most of our area. As of today, everything is as flat as if can be. The cold has really helped with the water holes and sleds are passing all areas easily.
Mike and our newest trainee just completed the city trails. We have made the decision to leave the city trails and trail 49 from the Soo to Kinross alone as far as grooming until Sunday. With fresh snow on top of a flat base, we think this is best for riders and will allow you to have snow for cooling vs a super hard packed trail, and will really help freeze up any remaining soft spots.
Our spare Tucker is running triple duty while we await a fix for our newer Tucker that has an electrical issue. This is another reason we have made this decision. Trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley will be prioritized if it is determined that grooming is needed.
Our Raco, Bay Mills, Brimley, and Kinross south areas remain on the normal schedule.
Please see the pinned post regarding trail 480 and part of 572 in the Spile Dam area.
It should be a great weekend! Thanks all!! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo12/12/2025
