UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/29
I know you are all anxious and want to know what the trail conditions are.
I am happy to report that we are starting groomer operations tomorrow!!! I will get updates out as I receive them.
We groom just over 100 miles of trails so conditions will vary across our trail system, based on snowfall, water spots, drifting etc. We got about 8” of snow here in town and it sounds like there is more to the west, closer to Raco. We are supposed to pick up another 3”-5” tomorrow. What I know for sure is that there will be lots of sled traffic since this is the best snow we’ve gotten season to date.
Please be safe, ride right and watch for our groomers. Corners may be icy and underneath the snow there is an ice base so trails might be slick in spots. If you’re out on our trail system, feel free to message us pictures and trail updates and I will share them. See you all out on the trails!!!❄️❄️❄️
