Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 01/10
SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/10/25 Hello all! Volunteer Dennis P, who has been instrumental in the repairs on trail 49 north of Kinross, went out today to check it out. He reports it as good with the exception of this spot near Devils Hill which is between Gaines Highway and 12 Mile Rd. Take it easy through here. Snow is falling currently. As we get more, and are able to make more passes in here, it will improve tremendously. <> SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Old Soo Line Grade Lodge >> 01/10/25 Hoping for more snow! <> <> SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/09 1/9/25 It’s been super cold! I had -13 here this morning. That is exactly what we need to freeze in the few wet spots on 49. I’m thinking we may be able to run a groomer down there this weekend🤞 The utility company will be getting the crane mats off of trail 494, and putting things back in order there. As soon as we are able to get in there and also into 497 by the high school, I’ll be sure to share! For now, see the pinned post regarding this area and use extreme caution if you ride that way. Exciting news! Our website is almost ready for me to share! I’ll be posting that later today. We could definitely use more snow, but all trails have fair to good snow coverage now. More in the northern areas, especially the Soo. I see a few inches here and there in the coming days. It’ll all help! Thanks all, stay tuned for more updates! Ride safe! Think snow!❄❄❄ <> <> Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association Facebook Page <> SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers in the northwest wind snowbelts continue through tomorrow where an additional 1-3" is possible in the Porkies. Otherwise, our attention turns to a system coming through Sunday into Monday, bringing a widespread 1-4" across the area with locally higher amounts closer to Lake Michigan. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect snow showers in the northwest wind snowbelts continue through tomorrow where an additional 1-3" is possible in the Porkies.

WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP >> FIRST ALERT: Light to moderate lake effect snow develops in the Western U.P. this afternoon. Roads could become hazardous. Snow amounts in the higher elevations of Gogebic and Ontonagon counties could range 6-8" by tomorrow morning. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A cold front ushers in more fluffy lake effect snow overnight into Saturday. Mainly dry and mostly cloudy conditions are in store for the south-central sections of Upper Michigan. The heaviest snow is expected over the higher terrain areas of the Copper Range of northern Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties. Localized amounts of greater than 8" inches are possible for the Porcupine Mountains. Plan for reduced visibilities at times on Friday north of M-28 in the western U.P. The next chance of a more widespread light to moderate snowfall is on Sunday into Monday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA cold front ushers in more fluffy lake effect snow overnight into Saturday.

He also said the open areas are thin and in the woods it is much better.
Thanks Dennis!
We do not want to move the camera / guage to get it in the view.
Good morning all! Pretty uneventful here as is usually the case mid week. The Pisten Bully came in to the barn to get warm on Tuesday, and to get some maintenance done. It’s already back in action in the Bay Mills area.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

From groomer Warren this morning! Trail 8, 480, and 889 in Raco and Bay Mills are looking beautiful!
Thank you Warren! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #snowphotos
The big system to the south will be giving us a little bit of snow on the north end Friday!
Expect a nice and easy 1-3" for the most part across the area. Roads will be slick at times, but salt and brine treatments should work just fine with temps in the middle 20s.
Winds could be about 10-15mph at times, which isn't too high, but still could cause some blowing around and reduced visibility. Mainly in wide open areas.
TIMING: Snow starts in Southwest Michigan, Lake Michigan shoreline of Northern Lower, and the U.P. between 7-8am. Flint and the TriCities by about 10-11am. Detroit likely after 12pm, maybe even as late as 2pm in some areas.
System snow will wrap up around midnight while lake effect kicks in on the west side of the state behind the system.
Lake effect totals Saturday are NOT included on this map. I'm keeping this for Friday only.
Lake effect Saturday will be very localized with some areas perhaps getting 3-6" more in heavy bands. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaSNOW TIME!!
