Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/26

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/26

Hey guys!

Just got back from a run on the city trails. Groomer Jay was my passenger tonight and helped me with the pre trip inspection. The new Tucker uses DEF and it’s handy to have such a tall guy to help me fill it🤣

It’s great to have newer snow to work with! Definitely makes the run more enjoyable when I can see and feel the drag working as it should.

The most heavily traveled area was between the tunnel hill and the business spur, as usual. We brought the Sawzall with us to cut out the track mat that has been giving us trouble in the tunnel but it looks like someone already took care of it. Thank you to whoever did it! There were some pretty deep moguls forming along side the airport and I leveled them out as best I could. All other areas came out nice and flat and started to set up on the return trip.

We switched off with groomer Pete so that he can make a run down 49 to Kinross and back. He will make the 2nd pass of the city trail part of 49 from the spur to the tunnel to smooth it out even more. We saw pretty minimal traffic and temps are ideal for the trail to set up so should be great riding in the morning. We also did the courtesy trail to Chippewa Motors, Inc., another one of our awesome commercial member supporters!

Hope you’re enjoying the trails this weekend! Finally some darn near perfect weather conditions.

See you you on the trails!

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/25

Wow! What a difference it makes when there is snow in the northern lower and across the UP!

Just got back from a ride to Paradise and the trails were excellent on the way out AND back! The swamp south of Paradise has some water spots and mud, to be expected but their part of 8 and 452 was awesome! Chippewa Snowchasers part of 8 was also awesome, as were our parts of 8 and 889!

Lower traffic and recent snow have things in great shape here in the EUP!

Headed out to groom now. Gotta pay to play! I’ll report when I get back.

Ride safe everyone! ❄️❄️❄️

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/16/26
Only around 8” of new snow today in the Soo. Word is we’ll get more tomorrow than today.
For once, we’re ok with being on the lower end of the totals. That’s easier on our first responders, our community, and our volunteers which means we can work on clean up sooner.
We’ll see what happens tomorrow! As always, be safe! #soo #soo0316 #snowphotos3/16/26
