Reported On: March 04th, 2018 @ 11:18am

Groomers out over night and trails in fair to good shape yet. Road shoulders are bare. Trails in woods are still good to excellent! They are icy and road shoulders are bare. Less snow base around Kinross area, without new snow they will not last much longer. We will continue grooming as needed for traffic and snow conditions. All is calling for temps I’m mid 30’s during the day but getting down to low 20’s overnight. Maybe some snow mid week.

Follow us on facebook too

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. Make sure you lock your vehicles and trailers.

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.
