Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/12
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/12
Hey all! Just got back from a very short ride on part of trail 8 and part of the city trails. It is NOT pretty. Let us get some snow on them before you head out. Lots of rocks and brush. Hoping it happens overnight as forecasted! ❄️❄️❄️

-Update as of 1/12-
***editing to add that we have a guy out on part of the city trails panning now***
Good morning all! We are back in a holding pattern until we get more snow. Most of our trails have at least been panned, with the exception of trail 49 south of the Soo to Gaines Hwy which is closed due to excessive water, and also the city trails have not been panned yet due to not enough snow. The storm isn’t supposed to start until 8 or so tonight, and is expected to bring 4-6” inches by tomorrow AM, then another few inches by midday tomorrow. High winds are also expected, so we may see downed trees. This is our complete trail report for now, which also can be found on the misorva.org page. Don’t forget, we are also on the Groomer Tracker app!

This is from Groomer Lane yesterday on his run on the southeast side of Kinross, trail 49 and 494.
“I panned and packed in and trimmed with sickle bar on 49 and 494 today. All we need now is cold and snow. Trail looks good.”
Thank you Lane!
