Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/10
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. As always, I’ll keep you posted! ❄️❄️❄️ <> <> Sault Ste.

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
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.

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
Happy Winter Solstice!!
Beautiful shots from Brimley Bill this morning on his run of parts of 480 north of M28, the Raco powerline portion of trail 8, and the 889 loop!
Fresh snow over the solid base that the thaw last week helped to create = some awesome trails!
Thank you Bill! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos
