SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/12
Hi everyone!
The anticipation ahead of the busy holiday weekend is building. We are getting lots and lots of messages asking how the trails are. I do my best to answer all of them. Please scroll through the past few days of posts on our page and I’ll bet you’ll get a pretty good idea how things are. I also have a post pinned to the MSA Trail Report page and I update that as often as I can. Please remember we are also on the Groomer Tracker app now where you can see the latest groomer activity. As long as temps stay below freezing, we will be out grooming. It’s going to be a high traffic weekend with little to no snow in the forecast as of right now so things may get thin and bumpy but we’ll do our best. Remember to share the trail. Stay right. Stay alert. Stay sober until you get back to where you’re staying. Please slow down and yield to the groomers. It’ll be a fun and busy weekend out there and, if we all work together, it’ll be a safe one and we can all return to do it again!
Everything is in good shape now, except for the closure on 49 just south of the Soo to Kinross. We’ll keep updating! ❄️❄️❄️

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/16/26 10:30 PM Good evening! Here in the Soo, the blizzard is winding down. For us, it wasn’t so much the snow as it was the wind. I still only show about a foot total new snow out of this storm from 10 AM yesterday until now, but the drifts are nuts. A few of us took a ride to Bay Mills Resort & Casino for dinner and to check out trail 8. Thank you to Zoey for the great service!! We opted to take the shoulder of 6 mile from Deland to the resort as we know that the farm field drifts on 8 west of Brimley are likely very deep and visibility was poor when we got out there. The bay was nearly impossible to see as well. Trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley is tunneled in spots due to people riding the middle to avoid the drifts. I personally lover smashing the drifts so I was in heaven on the outer edges😅 Surprisingly, we saw no downed trees or branches, which is pretty incredible! I’m hearing that groomers will likely roll out tomorrow morning on the first runs since the storm started. Hopefully, most businesses will be able reopen tomorrow, and we’ll get back to normal in short order. We will keep you posted! Hope you all got through this unscathed! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0316e#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/16/26 Good morning all! Here in the Soo at my place right off of trail 8, we’ve only received 8” or so of snow from this storm since 10 AM yesterday. Snow is ongoing, so we’ll see any we end up with. The wind and the drifting are the bigger story, at least here. I know that areas just south and west received more snow. Please check in with what you’re seeing and where you are at so that we have an idea how much snow is out there in our surrounding areas. Power has stayed on here, thankfully, but MANY businesses are closed as it’s unsafe for their staff to travel. I am certain there are downed trees on the trails. We are not advising going out, but if you do, be safe and please let us know what you’re seeing. Thank you! #soo #soo0316d#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
