Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/23
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/23 We ran into groomer Jeff out in the Raco area on our ride tonight. We hit 8 from the Soo to Raco, then 889 to Mission Hill Overlook, then back to the Cozy Inn for a delicious perch dinner. Everything is holding up really well after another busy weekend. Groomers will be out all week as conditions allow. Trail 49 remains closed from south of 3 Mile to Gaines Hwy. We will update when we can on that. Thanks all! ❄️❄️❄️ <> Good evening! It sure is way more fun when I can share good news! We got a solid snowfall of anywhere from 7-12” depending on the area. And…. It’s cold🙌🏼 <> <> Sault Ste.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> One last warm and sunny day is expected to start off the work week, with afternoon highs ranging in the 40s and 50s. However, things quickly take a turn as a winter storm heads towards the region. This kicks off an initial batch of light snow late tonight, persisting into Tuesday morning. A brief break Tuesday afternoon will be followed by more light to moderate snow Tuesday evening through Wednesday. Exact amounts remain uncertain, but confidence is increasing in at least a few inches of snow for much of the area by Wednesday evening. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooOne last warm and sunny day is expected to start off the work week, with afternoon highs ranging in the 40s and 50s.

It was snowing the whole time we were out which made the road riding in Brimley so much more tolerable.
Steve and Nathan were out on the city trails tonight and they shaped up beautifully! Here’s what Steve had to say-
“Groomer Nathan and I went out tonight and groomed the city trail system.
We had 8 or 9 inches of fresh snow to work with. It was certainly a winter wonderland.
Trail conditions were great. We were able to pull snow into a lot of the low spots. The water hole near the tunnel is froze and snow covered. We seen almost no water at all on the trails tonight.
We groomed everything within the city limits with the exception of the stretch from Seymour Rd to the casino due to 2 water holes behind Kewadin.
Hope you enjoy the pictures we took along the way.
Steve Lawson”
Thanks guys! Looking awesome out there!❄️❄️❄️Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Good morning all!
With temps expected to hit 48 here today, groomers remain parked.
It looks like tomorrow into Wednesday is when the shift happens and we might be able to send them out.
No doubt trails are slushy with standing water on top of ice in spots.
Chances for measurable snow increase ahead of and into the weekend as of today’s future forecast.
Looking at Groomer Tracker, all of the clubs in the EUP that participate are also waiting it out.
My snow gauge shows around 2’ still on the ground. Trails likely still have a foot of base in most areas. Some spots will have less, some more.
We’ll keep you posted! #soo #soo0309 #snowphotos

Snow is likely today, March 7th, 2026 on the backside of the low pressure system moving through, while parts of southern Michigan reach the mid-60s today. Most of the snow will fall along the spine of the western Upper Peninsula, where 2-5" of fresh snow is possible in the cornflower blue coloring. 1-3" of snow also possible in nearby Baraga and western Marquette county. A trace to 1" is possible for all areas in white, but most of these areas won't see more than a couple flurries mixed in with light freezing drizzle. Snow should be done by 10 pm EST across the Upper Peninsula.
The rest of the state will be dealing with temperatures in the 40s to 60s with showers and thunderstorms, clearing by late evening. This will set the stage for a mostly sunny Sunday ahead.
