SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 02/09

2/9/25
Heads up for groomer Chris on 49 from the Soo to Kinross. He got a bit of a late start due to the Tucker needing some routine maintenance, so he’s out there still this morning.
Thank you to Buck for coming in early to take care of the Tucker!
Ride safe! More snow squalls today!❄️❄️❄️

Good morning! A few pics from my run on the city trails last night. Traffic was light, temp was 21 degrees, and snow was falling so it should make for a nice ride this morning! I used the limb masher a lot to clean up more brush too.

I want to thank Lane and Mike for pulling double duty yesterday. Lane helped us out by grooming Kinross east (49 south and 494), and also came up 49 to the Soo from Kinross since we have a machine down.

Mike trained a new volunteer, Chase, and they ran 8 from the Soo to Brimley, and then did the city trails too.

Dan hit the Soo to Brimley on 8 last night right after I got back, and Chris hit 49 south to Kinross this morning.
The Raco crew has 889, 8, and 480 in great shape too.

It is prime time to be here! We hope you get to enjoy our efforts! ❄❄❄

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/16/25
Good evening everyone!
Trail 49 update, between the Soo and Kinross. Lane groomed from Kinross to 12 mile yesterday morning. He reports that he brought up some water between devils hill and 12 mile, but he was able to knock down a lot of the rough stuff and said it is getting better every trip through. He rode it after he groomed and it is passable, nothing too deep. He advises that you need to pick your lines to go around wet spots, which is typical in the early season. There were several sled tracks after he groomed👍🏼
Last night, Dennis groomed 49 from the Soo south to around 11 1/2 mile. There’s a ditch around there that he couldn’t get through so he back out and headed back. He said that there are still some wet spots to watch for, but it’s passable via sled.
Temps are still below freezing at night, even with a few days above freezing, and the thaw/freeze cycle should actually help that trail. We need some more snow to push into the wet spots and we’ll really be able to get this trail in good shape.
Thank you Lane and Dennis! ❄️❄️❄️
Remember, we are on Groomer Tracker! Half of each subscription fee comes right back to the club. We appreciate your support! #soo

Thank you to Bryan, Logan, Pete, and Dave for clearing this gnarly widow maker from trail 8 between 5 and 6 mile. It was just sort of dangling there and would have made a real mess if left to fall on its own. Much safer for riders and our operators now. #soo #snowphotos

Hey guys! Rider report from Greg regarding trail 49. If you subscribe to our system on Groomer Tracker, you can see that we have not been through there since Lane set the trail a week ago, but we’ll update once we are able to get in there.
For now, good advice from Greg👍🏼
“The trail to Kinross is a disaster right now (trail 49 from Alberta Ln in the Soo to Gaines Hwy) The power line just as you get out of town has a big wet hole and once you get past that there are holes in the farm fields. Stay out until they open it. The big swamps are fine they just have no snow. The trails in kinross are good. Everything other than Soo to kinross is amazing”
We’ll keep you posted! #soo
