Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/08

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/08

Good morning all!

I heard from Brimley Bill after his run last night on what we call the B25 route. This is 480 from the Spile Dam turnaround, and 8 from Ranger Rd to Brimley from Raco.

“I groomed route B25 tonight. It held up really well over the weekend. Trail 8, as it comes into town in Brimley is getting a little thin. The rest of the trails are in pretty nice shape. If we’d get just a few inches of fresh snow, they’d be great.”
We just might get some snow this weekend. Hard to say right now. Warm days and bright sunshine continue to melt the snow, and cold temps at night freeze things back up. Very normal for this time of year. Towns and roads are bare so you need to plan accordingly.

Also a video in the comments.

Ride safe! Still lots of snow in the woods and on most sections of our trails!❄️❄️❄️

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/16/26 10:30 PM
Good evening!
Here in the Soo, the blizzard is winding down. For us, it wasn’t so much the snow as it was the wind. I still only show about a foot total new snow out of this storm from 10 AM yesterday until now, but the drifts are nuts.
A few of us took a ride to Bay Mills Resort & Casino for dinner and to check out trail 8. Thank you to Zoey for the great service!!
We opted to take the shoulder of 6 mile from Deland to the resort as we know that the farm field drifts on 8 west of Brimley are likely very deep and visibility was poor when we got out there. The bay was nearly impossible to see as well.
Trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley is tunneled in spots due to people riding the middle to avoid the drifts. I personally lover smashing the drifts so I was in heaven on the outer edges😅
Surprisingly, we saw no downed trees or branches, which is pretty incredible!
I’m hearing that groomers will likely roll out tomorrow morning on the first runs since the storm started.
Hopefully, most businesses will be able reopen tomorrow, and we’ll get back to normal in short order.
We will keep you posted! Hope you all got through this unscathed! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0316e #snowphotos

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
