Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/11
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/10 Good evening! Groomers Rick and Pat went out & did the Kinross east loop tonight, 472, 49 south of M80, and 494. Looking nice and flat! Earlier, groomer Dave did kinross west to Spile Dam- 472 and 480. He skipped the small section where the 2 water holes are just east of 480 on 472 to try and help them freeze up. I circled the area on the map to give your an idea on location. 889 is in excellent shape and didn’t need to be touched today👍🏼 Hoping the forecasted freezing rain turns to all snow! We’ll keep you updated! Nice and cold tonight!❄️🥶❄️ See you on the trails! Thank you volunteers! <> <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Facebook Page <> Sault Ste.

Trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley, and also Brimley to Raco, 480 to the Spile Dam turnaround, and the Raco powerline to Ranger Road as well as the Sault Ste Marie city trails were all done today as well.
🚨🚨Trail 49 from Alberta Lane to Gaines Hwy remains closed at this time🚨🚨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

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
