Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/02
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/02
12/2-
Heads up! Especially for locals- the city trails, specifically from Ashmun to the high school and Kewadin and VERY wet, and also have utility work ongoing. We are recommending that you avoid this area until further notice for your own safety. We have a nice stretch of cold nights ahead, so that should help. We’ll update when we can!
Also, if you subscribe to Groomer Tracker, you may see a tucker move down 49 to kinross in the coming days. It WILL NOT have a drag with it, just moving the unit to check conditions. We also have property owners that have asked for us to hold off on opening the sections between 8 and 9 mile until things firm up. Please respect this.
For now, the only sections of trail on our trail system that have been panned are trail 8 from the Soo to Ranger Rd, and 889 around Bay Mills. There are still wet areas on the Mission Hill Loop on 889. Early season conditions, ride safe and with someone, and let people know where you’re going and when to expect you back. Lots of season to go and we want you to enjoy it when it’s prime.
As always, we’ll keep you posted!

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
