Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 12/19
Great snow out west of Raco, groomed last night with 4-8 inches of fresh stuff. Trails are getting better each time we groom them. Still issues with wet areas or the water spots we have every year, as they are still not completely frozen. Temps have been around 20 so it is settling some of the fluff and packing into a good base! Via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association on Facebook Web Trail Report 12/19: Trails are in fair to good shape going west on trail #8. Gates are all open, most trails have been packed/groomed twice or 3 times. Some flowing water on the Spile Dam trail. There will be water in many of the wet areas until the snow gets packed and the frost gets driven into the ground, especially after a groomer goes thru. Sault Ste.
