Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/17
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – Groomers were out west of Raco again today and Soo to Brimley. Trails getting better each time but need snow, still not very good. Hope to pack the loop around Kinross Monday. Gates are open on trail 49 but not packed all the way thru only the dry portions. Lots of water on it. Gate on 480 south of Raco is open. Still a couple on 472 closed…. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Expecting fog to develop tonight and linger into Thursday morning. Fog may be dense at times. If driving tonight, best to plan in extra time to reach your destination safely. Drizzle may mix in at times, mainly over the Keweenaw Peninsula. Widespread rain potential exists Friday thanks to a system lifting through the region. Also can't rule out a thunderstorm or two... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooExpecting fog to develop tonight and linger into Thursday morning.

Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/4/26 I’m heading to Newberry currently going to sled there tomorrow but temp not dropping tomorrow night but looks like yours will be. Hoping my to drive there early Friday. Not from around there and wondering what are some good straight trails without a lot of bumps? Back problems.

Quick update- temps warmed to the low 40s today with sun most of the day. Things are definitely a little sloppier than yesterday, but still lots and lots of base on the trails.
I know that the city trails and trail 49 have gone without a groom since Sunday, and are likely getting moguls. Bryan normally hits them tonight, but as of now, it’s just too warm.
Everything else was done in the last 24 - 36 hours.
They are as good as they can be under the circumstances.
As a reminder, we are on Groomer Tracker, so you can always check there to see if and where groomers are rolling.
I’ll do my best to answer your questions and messages as we move through this warm up.
I live off of trail 8 and just heard a few sleds going by, so some are making the most of it!
Definitely a setback, but looking at the 10 day forecast, it’s for sure not over!
Be safe! #soo
Good morning everyone!!
27 degrees currently, and going up to 42 today with sunshine. Not ideal, but also nothing we havent seen before this time of year.
As of now, things are still in good shape! Roads and crossings are bare, but trails are still completely snow covered with a ton of base yet.
Brimley Bill was out til 2 AM on the route we call BE26. This is 480 from the Spile Dam turnaround, 8 along the powelines to Ranger Road, and 8 from 480 in Raco to Brimley.
Here’s his report-
“I groomed BE26 tonight. The temperature was staying higher than forecasted, so I waited a while before heading out. 480 south of M28 was getting pretty choppy. No deep moguls, but a lot of chatter bumps. 8 between Raco and Brimley also had stretches of chatter bumps. Even though the temperature was not ideal for grooming, I was still able to smooth out most of the trail. Even with the mild temperatures, the trails are holding up very well. Remember, it’s only the beginning of March. There’s still more winter ahead, and our trails have a very thick and solid base. And remember, March in Like a Lamb, out Like a Lion!”
Definitely not over yet! Thanks Bill! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0304 #snowphotos Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
