Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/03
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/03
12/3 update-
🚨🚨Please, PLEASE take this warning seriously! 🚨🚨
The city trails as well as 49 all the way down to Kinross are full of water and slush. They ARE NOT rideable. Do not even attempt it!
The good news is that Steve and Chris made it in just the Tucker (no drag) from the Soo all the way to Kinross on trail 49 to assess and clear trees and other hazards. This means they made it over the redecked bridge at the Beaver Pond! Yay! They widened it as much as possible so the edges are set and now it has a chance to freeze. There are land owners in there that do not want sleds attempting it yet. This is for your safety! Please do not attempt it! You will not make it on a sled and tow companies will not be able to get you you. It’s a looooong cold, wet walk to get help.
We will update when we get in there again. More cold and snow is on the way, but we really just need cold now.
Thanks all!

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/19/26
Jay and I hit the city trails last night and they are in good shape. Some choppy spots due to heavier traffic earlier, but we smoothed them out as best we could and saw very little traffic on our run.
Snow was falling the whole run and should be a beautiful ride in the morning.
Enjoy! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0119 #snowphotos
