SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/10
12/10 update- We had groomers out yesterday in the Raco, Brimley, and Bay Mills area on 8 west of Brimley, 480 to the Spile Dam turnaround, the Raco powerline, and 889. No reports from those operators, so I assume no news is good news. No other routes have been groomed the last few days due to warm temps and low traffic.
We are not in the line of this next round of snow for today and tomorrow, but may see some lake effect kick up Thursday as super cold temps are expected, and NW winds. The cold is just what we need to freeze in the wet areas.
Trails are likely still somewhat hard packed from the thaw/freeze pattern as we hover around freezing and have had some very light mist and mixed precipitation the last 2 days.
As soon as there are any significant changes, I’ll be sure to let you know!
Ride safe and let us know if you have questions that we can help with. Rider reports are always welcomed too.
