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!❄❄❄

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
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Old Soo Line Grade Lodge >> 01/29/25 - Trail 8 in Brimley, MI
We got dumped on!
Pushing 22” on the ground, undisturbed.
FYI … we just had a cancellation. The lodge is available February 12th to February 20th. Please share! The conditions are the best they have been. #soo #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> There will be some melting before the weekend, but, if you are heading north the current snowpack is looking decent for many winter sport areas! Some areas of the UP that have had excessive lake effect this season are pushing 5-6ft of snow depth! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
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.
