SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/10
~1/10 Complete trail update~
Trail 8- Soo to Brimley, and Brimley to the powerlines- panned, but thin.
Trail 8- powerline to Snowchasers turn around- not groomed or panned yet, may be tomorrow
Trail 889 and the Mission Hill Overlook- east side of the loop has wet spots. Not groomed yet. We will pan tomorrow where it makes sense. Some wet spots on plantation road. Use caution with vehicle ruts here
Trail 480 from Raco powerline to 472 through the Spile Dam- panned what we could, but there are large ruts from a truck in there. We do not recommend riding here until we get more snow to further fill them in. Some wet spots, but the Tucker made it all the way through. The new part of the trail on 472 is awesome! No water holes!
Trail 472 from Spile Dam to west side of Kinross , panned and thin
Trail 472 and 494 Kinross east- not groomed yet, will be panned likely tomorrow
City trails- not groomed yet. Watch for ruts and wet spots.
Likely Friday or Saturday before it will be panned. Need more snow.
🚨🚨Trail 49 south of the Soo to Kinross- very wet and gates remain closed where possible. DO NOT ride even where there are not gates. Lots of thin ice and water still🚨🚨
It’s a start. We definitely need the 6-12” that’s in the forecast. But we’re rolling at least! ❄️❄️❄️

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/10
Good morning all!
After the snow has settled, I show a solid 8” on the ground in the Soo. I’d say got about 5” of it from the storm. Again, we normally need about a foot to get grooming, but I will let you know if we are able to get out and pan.
If you’re in our area, please share snow reports as I have heard south of us may have picked up more. We are also watching another system for Friday into Saturday that could produce enough snow for us to begin normal grooming operations.
