More snow overnight and we will be taking the groomer thru the spile dam trail from Kinross towards Raco today to see how much water is there. Wish us luck as we take 2 groomers in case one gets stuck.
Great conditions for early season. Snow almost to your waist in Raco and at least your knees most everywhere else.
Not too much wet stuff from Soo to Dafter.

December 16, 2016

Anywhere from 6-10 inches of snow yesterday and Wednesday night over all parts of our trail system. Didn’t really quit until late yesterday afternoon. Had groomers out last evening and today to do more packing and panning to start getting the rail surface to freeze.

Still working on opening those traditional wet trails of Soo to Kinross and Kinross to Raco. Water prevents us from getting to gates to open.

Watch for wet areas or water holes not yet frozen if you get in your sled

check Facebook page for pics.

Big reroute around Raco this year

There is a change in the Soo to Kinross trail also.

We have a new plowed parking area at the beginning of trail #8 under the International Bridge.

If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!

We now have a marked trail that will be groomed on occasion to get to parts and service at Chippewa Motors. it comes into the back of their lot from the east side of M-129 when you come out of the woods.

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 6 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.

Base 0- 1 inches -Trail is in poor Condition.

Brimley to Raco, Trail #8 –

Base 0 – 2 inches -Trail is in poor Condition. When going across the bridge in Brimley make sure you go with the flow of traffic! Blowing and drifting occurs when you first leave Brimley.
