SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/01
Good evening!
Dave was out on the city trails tonight, one of many runs this week with the extra traffic in town for all of the I-500 festivities.
Here’s what he had to say-
“Just got done grooming the City trail. It’s smooth! The cold dry snow is holding a groom real well now and the trails are all staying in good shape. Things are looking excellent going into I-500 week.
Thought some might like to see what it’s like for the groomer going through the tunnel.”
Thank you Dave!
We have extra grooming runs scheduled all week to help keep things smooth. Please watch for us as well as extra traffic. More snow and very cold temps on the way, both make for excellent trails!
Ride safe all!❄️❄️🏁

Good morning!
Diane and Turbo were out on the Kinross west loop last night which is 472 and 480. This section has drastically improved in the past week, particularly the water holes that were on 472 right by 480. They are completely gone now! Turbo is our newest groomer and he’s doing a great job!
This video is from one of my favorite parts of 480 through the cedar forest in the Delerium Wilderness.
Thanks for sending it Diane! And thank you both for your time! Kinross and Raco are looking great!

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
