SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 11/27 update- Hi everyone! Just left a meeting with our groomer boss, President, and DNR trail specialist. I know that the questions of when we will start grooming will be coming, as we have measurable snow on the ground, with more forecasted in the coming days.
Please know that the ground is not frozen, as is almost always the case at the beginning of the season. This also means swamps are not frozen, not even close. The gated trails will remain gated until we deem them safe to open for sleds. The non gated trails will be ride at your own risk/discretion until we can start grooming. We definitely do not want to ruin trails before they even have a chance to start setting up.
We encourage sleds to pack trails down in the accessible areas, and ask that you obey the laws in place to allow hunters to have their time. Dec 1st is the “official” start, and those time restrictions will be off as of that date. If you exercise a little throttle control, it helps in early season conditions. Who wants to dig up rocks and mud anyway, right?!
We’ve been doing this a long time, and have learned the hard way that starting early doesn’t always mean great trails. I promise you that we will update as soon as we start grooming.
Let’s hope the forecasts are correct, and more prolonged cold and then snow are on the way!
Groomer Tracker is a great resource for the season! It’s also an easy way to support us as half of the $10 subscribtion fee comes back to us as a club. Once we start grooming, you will be able to see real time updates of where our machines are at.
Keep dancing! It’s so close we can taste it!🤘🏼❄️❄️❄️ #soo ... See MoreSee Less
