A update on trails for this weekend. Temps are to get to around freezing and sunny every day. But not too warm and night time temps are to be single digits or low teens. Yes the sun is high in the sky and will melt some but I think our trail 8 going west of Soo will be rideable. West of Brimley will be better as more snow.

We will be grooming be as traffic calls for. That is the guess on Monday.

Groomer Report

Trail #8 going west are the only trails left that are being groomed and rideable they may make it to the weekend at least west of Brimley. The sun is melting a little bit of snow every day and areas in the open will develop bare spots or corners

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.
