Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 01/12

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 01/12

1/12/25
If you left today, I’m truly sorry! We are getting fresh snow and wow what a welcome sight! A group of us, a few members and volunteers, took a ride up toward Paradise today. We tried to get there, but there is a pretty nasty water hole on 8 just north of Lakeshore. I would not go that way until the Paradise club says it’s frozen over. We turned around and took Lakeshore to 123 to 474 to Hulbert and back the same way.

Beautiful ride!

On our return trip, we ran into groomer Dan with the Chippewa Snowchasers club on trail 8. Shout out to him for smoothing out the weekend whoops after a crazy busy weekend! Awesome work Dan!
8 back on our trail system and the city trails are holding up great. The fresh snow will only make things even better!
Hope you all enjoy as much as we did! ❄️❄️❄️

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.

Raco/Bay Mills update from Brimley Bill-
“This morning I groomed the power line and Mission Hill Loop 889. The trails were beat up from the high sled traffic yesterday, but there was plenty of snow to work with. I was able to cut down and fill in the moguls, even in the winding section of 889. I was out and done before any sled traffic, so there trails should be set up nice and solid.”
Awesome job Bill! ❄️❄️❄️

Our crews were busy last night! I ran the city trails with Jay, and we got 497 open! Yay! Not many pics as I was the operator for the majority of the run last night. Jay hopped in the seat to help with 497 in the really gnarly spots. It’s looking great now! I used the limb masher A LOT to clean up some overhanging brush. More needs to be done, but I got some big ones out of the way!
Chris warns that trail 49 south of 12 mile still has some wet spots. We simply need more snow to be able to pack them. It’s coming!
I haven’t heard from the Raco crew but I know they were out last night too.
If you’re riding today, we hope you enjoy our overnight efforts!
