Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/05
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/05 Sugar Island Chris was out last night on the city trails and also 49 from the Soo to the Devils Hill turnaround. Another reminder- there are 2 rough areas where we can’t get a groomer through yet but we are going to attempt it tomorrow. The picture shows the two areas circled. Here’s what Chris had to say- “City trails were done last night. They were toast from the traffic. Soo to Kinross/ Devils Hill turn around groomed up really nice. Thank you F6 rider who got a great ride down met him on way back and really took it easy on the trail.” We saw lots of unsafe riding last night- people riding the middle of the trail with oncoming traffic (several times on my sled I had to pull off into the side to avoid being hit) and people passing on corners, etc. Please ride right and only pass when it is safe to do so. I have not heard of any multi sled accidents, thankfully. At least one recovery of a sled down in a ditch after crashing into some trees. Rider is ok! Next weekend is the free snowmobile weekend so there may be many new and inexperienced riders out. All the more reason to ride safely and share the trail. Thanks all! <> Good morning! After a VERY busy day, groomers were out overnight and this morning getting things back into shape. Thank you Dan for this video from his run on 8 from the Soo to Brimley and back very early this morning. ❄️❄️❄️ <> <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Facebook Page <> Sault Ste.

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
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
Only around 8” of new snow today in the Soo. Word is we’ll get more tomorrow than today.
For once, we’re ok with being on the lower end of the totals. That’s easier on our first responders, our community, and our volunteers which means we can work on clean up sooner.
We’ll see what happens tomorrow! As always, be safe! #soo #soo0316 #snowphotos3/16/26
