Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/26
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/26
From groomer Warren out on 889 and the Mission Hill Loop early this morning. Looking flat and beautiful!
He cautioned that there is still a little water in the ditch right by Bay Mills Resort & Casino but it is easy to get around via sled. Just take your time and pay close attention and you’ll be just fine.
Anyone missing this bag? Message us with the contents and we’ll arrange to get it back to you.
Ride safe, ride right, ride sober!
Busy weekend and week ahead as we enter I-500 week! ❄️❄️🏁

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Expect a few light lake effect snow showers in the NW wind snowbelts through this morning with minimal additional accumulations. Warmer weather is in store for midweek with highs in the 20s and even into the low 30s in the far west. Two rounds of light snow are expected from Thursday to Friday morning. A strong front will bring falling temperatures on Friday along with windy conditions and blowing snow, especially near Lake Superior. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaExpect a few light lake effect snow showers in the NW wind snowbelts through this morning with minimal additional accumulations.

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/4/26
Good morning everyone! Holding steady at 28” of snow in the Soo currently.
The Pisten Bully thay does the Raco and Bay Mills areas has the day off today feo some maintenance.
We do still have one machine down, and our schedule has been adjusted to make sure we can still cover all areas.
Here’s what I know-
❄️ Trail 8- Soo to Raco- excellent
❄️ City Trails - part of 49, 449, 497, and the I500 trail- good, seeing extra traffic for race week.
❄️ Trail 49- Soo to Kinross- good. All water holes are non existent 🙌🏼. May have some drifts in open areas.
❄️ Trail 49 south of M80 and the 494 loop- excellent
❄️ Trail 472 to 480 to the Raco gate- good - Go slow by the new bridge on 480 as there is still some exposed stone there that will be snow covered in time.
❄️ Trail 480 from the Spile Dam turnaround to the Raco Powerline ( trail 8 ) - good
❄️ Raco Powerline- good
❄️ Trail 889 The Mission Hill Loop- excellent
Remember, we are on Groomer Tracker!
Ride safe everyone!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/2/26
The city trails are back in shape after Bryan and Logan hit them tonight. Big thanks to groomer Pete for doing the brake job on this machine (the oldest in our fleet) and to Bryan for helping him finish the job tonight before the run.
Looking great guys! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0202 #snowphotos

If you rode 889 today, I don’t have to tell you how amazing it was, but for those that didn’t, here’s what you missed.
Thank you Turbo and Diane! It was fantastic today!
Beautiful photos of the moon before it set, and the sunrise. ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0201 #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> High pressure will bring drier, sunnier weather back to the U.P. this weekend as temperatures finally return closer to normal with daytime highs in the 20s. A weak system will bring another round of light snow Sunday night into Monday, but high temperatures look to remain in the 20s for much of the next week. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaHigh pressure will bring drier, sunnier weather back to the U.P. this weekend as temperatures finally return closer to normal with daytime highs in the 20s.
