Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/27
We have not had a lot of below freezing weather so if you are out there riding you may find some water under the snow.
Trails are Fair to Good for this first week of riding, expect to find some water and short sections not groomed waiting to freeze up.
Wet areas will not be frozen so you will find water in those usually wet areas. Also many less signs on the trails this years, no more chevrons on every little bend in the trail.
