SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 03/23
3/23/25
Good morning all!
Brimley Bill groomed 8 from Brimley to Raco, the Raco poweline, and part of 480. He said that there were a lot of hanging and downed branches, most of which he cleared, but said that riders still need to be cautious. Spring conditions means that things are ever changing.
Snow incoming tonight into Tuesday morning.
We’ll keep you posted on how much we end up with.
Be safe guys!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 03/22

Good evening! We’re not done just yet, though not all of our trails faired as well as the Raco and Bay Mills area. Today was cold enough for Turbo and Diane to hit the Mission Hill loop (part of 8 and 889). They saw around 60 sleds in 4 hours.
Diane said that the trails are excellent! The video in the comments is a family of 6, including their kids from Charlevoix. Great day for it. We love to see families enjoying our efforts!
They handed the groomer off to Brimley Bill who did the Brimley run on 8 amd part of 480.
As we’ve been saying, anything south of the Soo on 49 is very wet, and I’ve heard that there are several branches hanging after the heavy snow. If you ride that way, expect spring conditions and ride at your own risk. Please be safe!
A little refresher snow is on the way again! We are holding on here! ❄❄❄

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/28/26 Good morning everyone! While we certainly didn’t need the warm and sun yesterday, our hard working volunteers were itching to go as soon as temps dropped. Our first report comes from Warren- “We went out at 1 AM. Club member Steve & myself at 27 degrees did 480 from the Spile Dam turnaround, and 8 all the way to Brimley and back as well as the electric lines. I think everybody’s gonna be real happy with that, it cleaned up really well. I finished up at about 19° and then left the Groomer for turbo. Turbo is gonna hit the 889 loop and Brimley grade so I think everybody will be ready to go by about 7:30 - 8 o’clock for all of our trails out this way.” Thank you, Warren & Steve!!❄️❄️❄️ Trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley will be done tonight, the city trails were done yesterday, and will be done again tomorrow night. I’ll update when I hear from the Kinross crew as well, but I know that everything was done on Thursday ahead of the warm up. Be safe all and enjoy! Hope to see some of you at the Radar Run at The Cozy Corners Barbeau MI today! The fun starts at noon! See their page for more info! #soo #soo0228#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/25/26 Good morning all! We didn’t end up with as much new snow as we wanted out of the system, but lake effect is lingering a bit. I show about 4” of new snow here in the Soo. It looks like just west us (Brimley/Raco) got a little more. Once operators are out rolling and send me updates, I’ll be sure to share! Thank you! #soo #soo0225#snowphotos2/25/26
