Michigan Trail Report


Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/27

45 degrees today and questionable if it will get cold long enough to do any grooming. Only to get to 40 Wednesday. Hopefully get cold enough to groom Thursday or Friday morning and have enough base left because we are losing snow big time.

Warm during the day and cold at night though trails still fair to good shape. Groomers going out late night early morning if cold enough. Got about 2 inches of snow Saturday night followed by some rain and temps around 30. Supposed to have a couple days this week above 40 so we will see how trails hold up.

We have a new plowed parking area at the beginning of trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all season porta John.

If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.
