Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/04
Trails are Good to excellent for this second week of riding, expect to find very small wet areas in some short sections. We have groomed the Spile Dam trail and South of 12 Mile going to Kinross for the first time due to big wet areas. The cold temps the last few nights have really set up the ice. We had a couple of small areas where we broke thru but only with one track so they should re freeze for sleds quickly. Also many less signs on the trails this year, no more chevrons on every little bend in the trail. Join us on Facebook also. Sault Ste.
