SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/12
1/12/25 Raco/Bay Mills update from Brimley Bill- “This morning I groomed the power line and Mission Hill Loop 889. The trails were beat up from the high sled traffic yesterday, but there was plenty of snow to work with. I was able to cut down and fill in the moguls, even in the winding section of 889. I was out and done before any sled traffic, so there trails should be set up nice and solid.” Awesome job Bill! ❄️❄️❄️

1/12/25 Our crews were busy last night! I ran the city trails with Jay, and we got 497 open! Yay! Not many pics as I was the operator for the majority of the run last night. Jay hopped in the seat to help with 497 in the really gnarly spots. It’s looking great now! I used the limb masher A LOT to clean up some overhanging brush. More needs to be done, but I got some big ones out of the way! Chris warns that trail 49 south of 12 mile still has some wet spots. We simply need more snow to be able to pack them. It’s coming! I haven’t heard from the Raco crew but I know they were out last night too. If you’re riding today, we hope you enjoy our overnight efforts!

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
