Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/10

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 3/10

Did a quick ride tonight to check the trails out. They are really holding up surprisingly well! Definitely hard and fast and we were hookig up really nice in the corners. I don’t run scratchers and the hottest I got was 145 on pavement. On the trail, I was running about 102 but scratchers may be needed in the coming days.

Here’s where we went and what we saw-

City trail, tunnel to the business spur- good, very few moguls, hard base, some loose corners but overall good. Pic of the road below is what you can expect to see along road sides and crossings.

Trail 8, Soo to Brimley- smooth and flat, very few chatter bumps, really only approaching stop signs.

Getting through Brimley, the road riding is what it is for March. Not too long and not too bad. Shoulders are pretty bare.

889 loop including Mission Hill lookout- great shape, very few hardly noticeable chatter bumps in some corners

Powerline (part of 8 to 480)- smooth, flat, fast

480 to 472- smooth, flat, and tight packed corners

472 to just north of Ploegstra- smooth, flat, corners are holding well.

I know we are often our own worst critics but I couldn’t find anything bad out there tonight other than the couple of spots where we had to ride the road shoulder getting in and out of Brimley.

Get your rides in while you can! Trails are holding up great so far! ❄️❄️
