SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/22
3/22- hi all! Nothing significant to report here in our area. We’ve had a tiny bit of fine snow on and off today. Nothing measurable. I just had to run into town and many areas are showing grass again. Trail 8 was snow covered, but barely. We are on the very short end of the stick for the big storm. I wish I had more exciting news to share, but it is what it is. Some snow is on the way, but it is unlikely it will be enough to make things enjoyable for riding.
The central and western UP might be better places to try this time around.
But as always, we’ll keep updating!
Thanks to John for sharing this update and his knowledge.
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/6/25 Good morning! A couple of photos from Warren today! The Pisten Bully is back in action in the Raco and Bay Mills areas after coming in to thaw out and get some routine maintenance done Tuesday night. Warren said trails are the best he’s seen them all season. I’m hearing much of the same from our operators in other areas. Dave groomed the city trails last night and saw only 5 sleds, so it should have set up nicely. Snowing currently, with a few more inches expected. We truly are having our best winter in many years here, and it just keeps getting better! Get out and enjoy! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
