Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/19
SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 12/19 12/19 afternoon update The Raco crew will resume their normal schedule tonight, until it’s too warm to groom again. I haven’t heard from the Kinross guys yet, but I know things were pretty flat there before the warm up. We will be out at some point to remove the berm on 472 near Centerline. Thanks all! Trails are likely icy, so use caution. Rider reports and pics always welcome! ❄️❄️❄️ <> 12/19 update- Also an important trail update: trail 472 has a signage change. Following the landowner dispute resolution that was reached, Ryan and Pete added stop signs at a driveway, just east of the intersection of 472 (Postma Rd) and Centerline Road. Law enforcement will be closely monitoring for adherence. There is currently a snow and ice pile in the middle of the trail, but will be removed by our groomer as soon as we can get out there. Thank you to our DNR partners, the landowner, Pete, Dennis, Tom, and Ryan for assisting to make this better for all involved👍🏼 <> <> Sault Ste.

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.

Good morning all! No groomers rolling yet, but I’ll keep you posted. We didn’t get much new snow, so there’s not a lot we can do with the trails. It appears we held on to the base, so that’s awesome! I would assume ice scratchers may be needed with the hard packed trail surface.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Ride safe, stay right … enjoy the i500 race week if you are in the area. #soo #snowphotos

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
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
Just in from Groomer Warren on his run on part of 8, part of 480, and 889 in the Raco and Bay Mills area. He said easily 10” of new snow. Looking beautiful! Thank you, Warren! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos
