SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/09
Good Evening!
I just got a report from Jay F after his ride today-
“Just rode 49 out of Kinross , 49 thru the Soo, 8 over and thru Brimley and 480 back to Kinross. Other than the sides of the roads and even with the warm temps the trails are holding up. Solid snow coming down now should make for a good morning ride. Thanks to the snowmobile clubs and the groomers putting in the time, makes it all worth the 6 hour drive up here.
Ride safe and STAY RIGHT”
Thanks Jay! Appreciate the report!

Hi all!
Another day of temps above freezing. Yuck. However, we did have groomers out on trail 8 and part of 889 this morning before it hit 30 degrees. The 3-6” that they called for hasn’t arrived and I don’t think it’s going to, although it is snowing right now.
A little cooler tomorrow and then more of the same- above freezing in the daytime, below freezing early morning and overnight so we’ll be out grooming when it makes sense to do so. Road sides and crossings remain bare right now but all accounts from riders are that the trails are holding up. Groomer Tracker will give you the latest on where and when groomers have been and and I’ll share as I get reports too. No water holes have opened up so that’s a win in my book.
Low weekday traffic helps too. Pic is from where trail 8 crosses the road near my house in the Soo, just about a half an hour ago. Looking a little dirty near the road but otherwise pretty good. Watch for portentially icy corners and loose snow in spots.
We’ll keep updating as this wacky weather continues.
