SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/31

Happy New Years Eve!

Snow is ongoing in our area. I show around 3-4” new snow in the Soo so far, reports in Brimley of at least 7” new snow.

A word of caution- we do not like to send groomers out during the day, but sometimes we do not have a choice. Kenny and Jim will be headed out to tackle 889 in the Bay Mills area around noon today. There are many trees down and heavy drifting. It will undoubtedly be a long run for them, and the main goal is to get things opened up.

Pat is out early south of Kinross on 494. 472 west to Tilson should also be done today. As a reminder, we cannot groom past Tilson Rd on 472 due to construction equipment.

Please be on the lookout for the groomers, and if you’re able to move small branches safely, we appreciate the help!

Subscribe to Groomer Tracker to see where the groomers are in real time.

Thank you!

Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 12/30

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 12/30

12/30/25 11 AM
Attention local riders. While we are not asking you to go out, if you are out riding today, please report what you are seeing and any hazards so we can warn others. As we get to all routes, we will also update. As a reminder, the only trails that have been groomed since the storm hit are trail 8 from the Soo to Brimley, and the city trails (49 to Alberta lane and the Don Dee, the I500/ Holiday Inn trail, 449 to Kewadin, and the high school trail).

I just spoke with Bruce who will be hitting the 494 loop south of Kinross, and he’s going to also head north to 12 mile on 49 if he’s able to safely.

I’m still working on getting someone for 49 from the Soo to 12 mile.

The Pisten Bully is still at the Soo barn, so 8 west of Brimley, the Raco powerline, 480 to the Spile Dam gate, and the 889 loop have not been touched. I know that there are monster drifts out that way. Possibly downed trees too. Even very experienced riders are getting stuck across the UP after this strom. PLEASE be very careful!

Again, please see the pinned post about 472/480 construction.
Thank you!
