Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/03
February 3 update: – Groomers went out tonight and will be out early in the morning to work on the trails that were abused by warm temps again today. It is suppose to get down to 20 tonight and we should have a good smooth surface for all the traffic around due to the I-500. We will do our best to try to keep them smooth thru the day tomorrow with th extra traffic, but if it gets to 37 degrees with sun we will not be able to run the groomers during the day. Via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association on Facebook Feb. 1 update – Trails are in Good to Excellent shape. We groomed our known wet areas between Kinross and Soo, and Raco to Kinross today, and the known wet spots are frozen.
