Michigan Trail Report


Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/13

Some more light snow overnight is enough to run groomer around the town trails and start getting them packed down. Good snow levels around Raco have packed them once.

Opening most gates today heading to Raco with groomer to pack snow

check Facebook page for pics.

Big reroute around Raco this year

There is a change in the Soo to Kinross trail also.

We have a new plowed parking area at the beginning of trail #8 under the International Bridge.

If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!

We now have a marked trail that will be groomed on occasion to get to parts and service at Chippewa Motors. it comes into the back of their lot from the east side of M-129 when you come out of the woods.

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 6 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.
