Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/23
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/23
12/23 update!
Good morning all! It’s snowing pretty good here in the soo! I’d love snow reports from Brimley, Raco, Strongs and Kinross from our followers in those areas.
Sounds like this time snow is coming from the south. Our trails are in pretty good shape, except for behind Kewadin Casino and the high school on the city trails, and 49 from the Soo to Kinross. More on that in a minute.
Trails were getting thin in spots, so this little bit of snow will help freshen them up. We do have a nice base over the majority of our 103 miles.
Sounds like we are going to poke around on 49 tonight to see if the cold snap helped tighten things up. Sounds like sleds have been riding it which helps pack it. There was one troublesome water hole that I’m aware of south of 12 mile, but maybe it’s frozen up now. I’ll update you as soon as I hear on that.
Yes, we know there’s a warm spell coming and the potential for a 4 letter word that starts with an R. I’m not going to say it. Lol
That doesn’t mean that we just throw in the towel and give up. We’re doing all we can now to preserve what we’ve worked so hard to achieve.
Get out and ride as long as you can!
As always, we’ll be here to keep you posted! ❄❄❄

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A much cloudier day over the UP compared to yesterday! Light snow showers have been observed today with only a half inch so far at the office here in Negaunee Township. Despite the light nature of the snow, it has been efficient at reducing visibility, with below 1 mile visibility being reported at some locations this morning, so take caution while traveling today! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
