Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 01/08
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Old Soo Line Grade Lodge >> 01/08/25 It’s cold out there! At least the sun is shining. <> <> SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/08 1/8/25 Dennis P ran 472 west and 480 to the Spile Dam turnaround. Snow is thinner to our south, but as you can see, trails still have really good coverage. We could definitely use more snow over our entire system. Looks like Tuesday – Thursday of next week is our next chance as of now. Thanks all! Ride safe! Think snow! ❄❄❄ <> SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/07 1/7/25 update We haven’t received any new snow since the lake effect came to an end on Sunday morning. Not anything significant in the forecast this week as of right now. Lower weekday traffic and no new snow means grooming will likely be slowed down. I know that the Pisten Bully is coming in for repairs since it’s a good time to do it. Nothing major and it’ll be back in the Raco and Bay Mills area in no time. Everything should be pretty flat. Trail 8 sees the most traffic, and will likely see some choppy areas due to thin spots, but absolutely rideable. I’d call it fair to good. For info on what has been groomed most recently, please subscribe to Groomer Tracker. We have a board meeting tonight, and we’ll discuss getting the high school trail open, among other things. Members are welcome to attend. 6 pm at the Soo groomer barn, located at 1205 W 9th Street. Thanks all! Ride safe, ride right, ride sober! ❄❄❄ <> We just received further confirmation, this time from the U.S. Coast Guard, that the ice on the bay in Brimley is unsafe. They conducted training there today and broke through. Please stay off of the ice. Take trail 8. It’s groomed, and dry😉🥶 <> <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Facebook Page <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Northwest wind lake effect snow diminishes today. Before then though, expect upwards of 2 more inches of fluffy snow.

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/6/25 6:30 pm update on the water hole near the tunnel on city trail 49! <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
Good morning! A couple reports for you today.
Bryan and his son Logan (future SSMSA groomer) hit the city trails last night. The water hole that Pete and Jay worked on the other night is non existent🙌🏼 The other one between the hills is also frozen solid now for sleds, but he took the bypass in the groomer, just in case. We should be able to run over it in the groomer soon. All in all, nothing notable and they had a good run.
Sunny skies and coooooold temps are the story here today. Definitely welcome the cold to help us freeze up the few remaining trouble areas on 49 south of 12 mile.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

Pete and Jay formulated a plan to seal this bugger up, and I’d say it was a huge success! They met after work, grabbed the tractor from the barn, which is thankfully really close to where this hole was. They worked carefully to pack the hole with snow, then used the drag to smooth it over. Like it never even happened! Currently 15 degrees and going down to single digits tonight so it’ll freeze up nicely. We shouldn’t see this again til April. Thanks guys! You rock! #soo #snowphotos
