Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/29
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/29 By now, most of you have seen this communication from the DNR. As of right now, we do not have enough snow to groom and most trails are in very poor shape (icy, water holes, or down to dirt and gravel). The gates will be closed on Sunday from what I am told, but please know that some landowners may close them after the 31st. The only area of our trail system that is somewhat decent is the Bay Mills/Raco area which was groomed Sunday. This is all federal forest service land so you can ride it as long as there is snow and as long as you know that where you are is not private property. We had really warm days and sunshine after Sunday so I’m sure they are not great now. Maybe 3-6” in the forecast for Saturday but it’s too little, too late as far as grooming goes. If you do ride, ride safe and watch for the normal spring conditions like water holes, dirt, pavement, and animal activity. If you encounter a closed gate on private property after the 31st, it is at the landowners request. Please respect their rights and their wishes so that we can continue to have good relations and access to the trails that we work so hard to maintain. Thanks all! <> <> Sault Ste.

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
