Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/28

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/28

Update- we are doing the best we can and so appreciate your patience! We have a track issue that we are looking at today on our machine that goes in and out of Kinross, east and west.
The Pisten Bully is out without the drag in the Raco/Brimley/Bay Mills (parts of 8, 889, 480, and the powerline) area packing trails down.

The city trails (part of 8, 49 and 449) will be done again today.
8 from the Soo to Brimley is in good shape.

All other areas I would rate as poor, some haven’t even been dragged yet but we are trying. Lots of drifts and water holes, especially on 49 south of the Soo, 472 from Rudyard to 480 in the Spile Dam. Gates on 472 and 480 are not open yet but will be soon. Sleds can get around them. I have not heard yet on the gate on 49 north of Gaines Hwy.

Please use caution and expect early season conditions plus lots of snow.

Also- from our friends to the west with Chippewa Snowchasers- they are reporting extremely deep snow by Ranger Road off of trail 8 so use caution there as well! It’ll suck ya in! Ask me how I know🤣

We’ll keep updating!

Remember that you can also follow us on the Groomer Tracker app now!

Thanks all!
