Michigan Trail Report


Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/22

Only 5 blow this morning but there is a little wind that is supposed to get stronger along with light snow flurries. Groomers are out on a daily basis working on trails. Each trail is getting groomed every other day except weekends as traffic is low during the week. We groom at all hours of the day and night depending on when the volunteer is available. So you may see a groomer at midnight, 7am, noon, 5pm or 10 pm. Less then a week until time trials start for the I-500 on Feb 1. Have you made your plans yet, rooms are going fast and the ice is thick on the track.
