WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> I'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday. Snowfall accumulations could be 1-2', if not higher, as high-res model guidance comes in when we get closer.
Another lake-effect snow event is increasingly likely behind an arctic front next Wednesday night through Friday, which we will need to keep an eye on. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyI'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> In the spirit of Christmas, here's today's forecast for December 23rd, 2025 that really doesn't feel much like the holiday season. Let's discuss!
Temperatures are slow-going to rise, then suddenly as we reach the afternoon hours, temperatures snap into the mid-40's for much of the state. Many locations close to the MI/OH border may surpass 50°F. Further north, mid-30's are likely. Sunshine will be noticeable out there today, as partly cloudy skies are the main icon. Winds will increase beyond noon as well, gusting between 20-30 mph for most, with some isolated spots in northeast Michigan, and along Lake Superior gusting 30-40 mph. Winds will be out of the west, and more details on the wind will be posted next. A light round of mixed precipitation is possible overnight into Wednesday for the Sault Ste. Marie region.

Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 01/22

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/22

1/22/25
Looking awesome in the southern part of our trail system! Thanks to groomer Pat for running the Kinross east loop. This is 49 south of M80, and the 494 loop around the Kinross airport, one of my favorite loops!
Around 3” of new snow down that way was enough to really freshen it up!

Still a bit thin around 20 Mile, south of where 49 and 494 meet. Otherwise, he calls the loop excellent!
Looking awesome, thanks Pat! ❄️❄️❄️

1/22/25
Sorry for the delay guys! Busy day at work for me. Here are a few pics from this morning on 889 from Warren, and the city trails from Bryan last night.

Big thanks to Pete and Bryan for doing some work on the drag. We are making it last as long as we can, but we are in dire need of at least one new drag. Hopefully, we’ll be eligible the next go around for equipment🤞

Things are really good to excellent over our entire system now. As a reminder, we turn around north of Rudyard, but we know many riders like to know the conditions there. They have unfortunately not received any new snow for a bit. Hopefully that changes soon! Trout Lake is also out of our area, but they got a much needed 8-12” today! Woo hoo!

We have a few thin spots closer to Kinross on 49, but othersie all areas have really good snow coverage.

Enjoy! ❄❄❄

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/24/25
Merry Christmas Eve! A curious deer checked out our snow gauge overnight. A bit of a warm up kept groomers parked yesterday, but cold has returned this morning, and there’s a decent amount of snow in the forecast in the coming days. Things were super flat before the warm up yesterday, so once again we have an excellent base.
We will keep you posted! Enjoy time with your families and friends 🎄❄️ #soo #snowphotos

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/21/25
Groomer Jay and I just finished the city trails. Aside from the car on trail 8 near Ashmun Bay, things look really good. We saw a little water on the trail to Kewadin as pictured, but that was honestly the worst part of the whole run. It was snowing hard for the last hour of our run.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well things held up after the warm up last week.
We keep saying it, but we truly are very pleased with where things are this early seaon.
Let’s hope it continues! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos

Fresh snow over the solid base that the thaw last week helped to create = some awesome trails!
Thank you Bill! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos
