Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 01/10

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/10

1/10/25
Groomer Matt hit what we call the Kinross east loop tonight. This is 49 south of M80, and 494 around the Kinross airport. It’s getting thin the more south you go, but a little snow is in the forecast and the trail is holding up fair to good.

He also groomed a courtesy trail to the The Well Diggers. This is a great spot to stop and eat that has been super supportive of us! I’ll add a screen shot of where it is in the comments.

Excellent food and atmosphere! And now you can get there from the Soo!

Thanks Matt!

From groomer Dennis P this morning on his run on the Kinross west route. 472 west from Kinross to 480 through the Spile Dam, and to the turn around at the maple syrup farm. He says there’s at least 6” new snow down that way. Looking awesome! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos

Too bad that color is 40-50 inches, not 50-75 lol and its 1-2 ft not 3-4 ft

This supposed to be current snow depth? I’m 7 miles south of pine stump and we’ve gotten well over 2 foot in the last 48 hours alone. There’s way more than 50” out there. Way more than 75 even.

Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 01/10

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/10/25

Hello all! Volunteer Dennis P, who has been instrumental in the repairs on trail 49 north of Kinross, went out today to check it out. He reports it as good with the exception of this spot near Devils Hill which is between Gaines Highway and 12 Mile Rd. Take it easy through here. Snow is falling currently. As we get more, and are able to make more passes in here, it will improve tremendously.
He also said the open areas are thin and in the woods it is much better.
Thanks Dennis!

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/09

1/9/25
Good morning all! Pretty uneventful here as is usually the case mid week. The Pisten Bully came in to the barn to get warm on Tuesday, and to get some maintenance done. It’s already back in action in the Bay Mills area.

It’s been super cold! I had -13 here this morning. That is exactly what we need to freeze in the few wet spots on 49. I’m thinking we may be able to run a groomer down there this weekend🤞

The utility company will be getting the crane mats off of trail 494, and putting things back in order there. As soon as we are able to get in there and also into 497 by the high school, I’ll be sure to share! For now, see the pinned post regarding this area and use extreme caution if you ride that way.

Exciting news! Our website is almost ready for me to share! I’ll be posting that later today.

We could definitely use more snow, but all trails have fair to good snow coverage now. More in the northern areas, especially the Soo. I see a few inches here and there in the coming days. It’ll all help!

Thanks all, stay tuned for more updates! Ride safe! Think snow!❄❄❄
