Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/01

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/01

3/1 Happy March! While we wish this beautiful snow would last, we know that the warm is coming today.

Here’s what I know-

49 from the Soo south of Alberta Lane to Gaines Hwy remains closed due to the beaver ponds.

8 from the Soo to Brimley and the city trails are very thin and rocky. Poor to fair in spots

49 and 494 south of Kinross are fair

472 west to 480 It’s thin but fair to good through there up to 480.

480 to 8 is fair out of the south, then excellent from Raco to 8.
8 east from Raco to Brimley is excellent the first 5 miles, then thin and rocky closer to Brimley.

889 is excellent except for one short stretch between Plantation and 8 that we couldn’t groom. Still fun to ride with lots of snow!! A tree is down on that part and easy to get around.
From Laurie, groomer Warren’ wife this morning-

“Pics from this morning at the 889 and Tower Road junction. Trails are holding up this morning. Don’t know for how long. These taken at 9:50am”

He did an AMAZING job out there yesterday! Ride it while you can! Remember, the forest service trails will hold up longer, but are not groomed trails so alway use caution! ❄️❄️❄️
