Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/18
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/18
1/18 update for the Bay Mills/Brimley area
Good afternoon!
Today, Raco Dave took out a new guy, rookie Marc, to groom trail 8 between Brimley and where we turn around at Ranger Rd, and also 889, which includes the loop to Mission Hill Overlook and the trail to Bay Mills Resort and Casino.
He said that 8 from Brimley to the power lines is great. The power lines themselves are almost down to dirt due to wind. Luckily, it’s a pretty short stretch and there is another side that you can get into the snow to cool, if needed.
He also said that 889 with the exception of the twisty part closest to the resort is great. The twisty section is thin and bumpy. You can tell this is basically the snow cut off line. He was also able to groom all the way to across from the casino, so that is in much better shape now!
Thank you Dave, and welcome aboard, Marc! We are happy to have you on the team!
We need some rookie luck, and a big snowstorm!❄️❄️❄️

1/18 update-
Once again, snow is just not hitting here. But you don’t have to go far. Paradise has been getting decent snow, and that continues. Follow the Paradise Area Night Riders page for their updates. They’re going to check the swamps south of Paradise today. Also, to our south, Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club & Grooming Report has been getting decent snow. Check their page for those updates. Again, the western part of our trail system from Bay Mills on is in better shape than the Soo.
