Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/10
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/10 Click the picture to see the snow and temp forecast for tomorrow and Thursday. Only a couple of inches of snow and the dreaded high 30s again😩 Definitely not ideal ahead of what will be a very busy holiday weekend. Let’s hope we get some northwest winds to turn on the lake effect machine. We cannot groom when it’s above freezing but we will be out whenever possible. No doubt the trails will suffer and water holes will remain an issue but we will update as often as possible. Worst season start I have ever seen but we’re still making the most of it and doing our best to preserve what we have. Last weekend the trails were in great shape. Higher traffic, low snow, and higher temps will burn them down this weekend but conditions are still good as of today. Check out the Clarke Motel’s post from today for pics of current conditions👍🏼 <> <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Facebook Page <> Sault Ste.

Snow and cold dances please!❄️🥶❄️🥶Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Good evening everyone! Holding steady at 30” of snow in the Soo currently with lake effect snow showers ongoing.
We do still have one machine down, and our schedule has been adjusted to make sure we can still cover all areas.
Here’s what I know-
❄️ Trail 8- Soo to Raco- excellent
❄️ City Trails - part of 49, 449, 497, and the I500 trail- excellent (being groomed as I type this)
❄️ Trail 49- Soo to Kinross- good. All water holes are packed and panned. May have some drifts in open areas.
❄️ Trail 49 south of M80 and the 494 loop- excellent
❄️ Trail 472 to 480 to the Raco gate- good - Go slow by the new bridge on 480 as there is stone there, that will be snow covered in time.
❄️ Trail 480 from the Spile Dam turnaround to the Raco Powerline ( trail 8 ) - excellent
❄️ Raco Powerline- excellent
❄️ Trail 889 The Mission Hill Loop- excellent
Remember, we are on Groomer Tracker!
Ride safe everyone!

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
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). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsare #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional snowfall Tuesday, Jan 27th!

Update!! 10:30 AM - The car is near the pavilion in the campground, close to the parking lot, and will be out shortly. Thank you to Merle’s Towing for your communication and helping her out!
🚨 Caution!! There is a car stuck on the trail behind Kewadin Casino. We are unsure of the exact location on the trail as of right now.
Merle’s Towing, who has always been so awesome to work with, is on the way, but please use caution.
Please be kind, it’s an elderly person who made a mistake. Just sharing for awareness. Thank you! #soo
