SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/28
2/28 6 pm update- The wind is still huffin’ and puffin’ and trying blow this house down. Barely any accumulation yet, but all forecasts agree that it’s still coming. Again- we are NOT saying it’s going to be great riding, we know it’s not going to last so keyboard warriors can sit this one out LOL. Only sharing info for those that want to know and plan to be here to hit the forest service roads for one last hoorah. It is highly unlikely that we will be grooming. Radar for overnight courtesy of Midwest Weather when I asked him if it was still coming. You be the judge ✌🏼

2/28 3pm- updated and extended. Now up to 12” in spots. So far, just a whole lot of wind, and annoying blowing snow here. Wind chill of -12. No doubt, whatever was on the trails is very solid right now. Time will tell if we do indeed get the measurable snow to cover it up.
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/6/25 Good morning! A couple of photos from Warren today! The Pisten Bully is back in action in the Raco and Bay Mills areas after coming in to thaw out and get some routine maintenance done Tuesday night. Warren said trails are the best he’s seen them all season. I’m hearing much of the same from our operators in other areas. Dave groomed the city trails last night and saw only 5 sleds, so it should have set up nicely. Snowing currently, with a few more inches expected. We truly are having our best winter in many years here, and it just keeps getting better! Get out and enjoy! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
