SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/22
Our area picked up a few inches of system snow overnight. Temps are currently in the high 20s, warming to the mid 30s today and tomorrow. This is sloppy, slippery snow but should pack down well. It’ll help fill in the corners that were starting to show dirt. Groomers are already out this morning.
All trails are reported to be in good to excellent condition. There are some thin corners but this new snow is helping.
Unfortunately, groomer #9 is down out of the Kinross area. We cannot groom around the airport and parts of 472 and 480 today as we work to get it fixed.
As always, ride safe and we’ll see you on the trails!❄❄❄

It has been a great season so far. For the most part, trails are in excellent condition but we do still have a few problem areas. To see what's been happening since the trails opened and for complete up to date information, please follow us on facebook.
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/27/26 Things are so good around here that I actually have no significant updates to share LOL. A little snow here and there on top of an absolutely incredible base is making for the best riding in our area in years, honestly. Even with one machine still down, our operators have things in excellent shape! We hope you’ll be able to be here next week for race week, and for the big race on Saturday, Feb 7th! We will have a booth in the brand new vendor pavilion, and we hope to see you there at the International 500 Snowmobile Race!! 🏁 ❄️🥶 #soo#soo0127 #snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
Winds will gust 30-40mph at times blowing around new slow and fluffy snow already on the ground. Expect ground blizzards at times (wind driven, brief, white outs). ... See MoreSee Less
