Area Report:
Initial trail report 8 Dec 2017
The target date for the opening of the trails will not be on December 12, 2017 as planned due to the poor weather conditions. It will be a later date determined safe for the county opening. The swamps and boggy areas in the county need to freeze up for safely riding the trails. Boulder Junction has been inspected and all deficiencies corrected. As of now we don’t have enough snow. With continued cold weather and more snow in our forecast this will only help. As always when the trails do open up please use more caution in the early season riding. I would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in clearing and signing the Boulder Junction Trail system. Cross your fingers and pray for snow and cold. Think Snow!

February 1, help break the Guinness World Record for the longest snowmobile parade.
We have a newly-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 the 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 than an inch on the trail.

Base 0 – 0 inches – Trail is in poor condition.
Brimley to Raco, Trail #8 –

City curfew is from 1 am – 6 am. Remember, most City streets are open to traffic 20 mph, stop at all intersections, and ride on the right-hand side of street, not on sidewalks. Watch for closed streets that are posted, mainly around the hospital, university, and state trunk lines.
Sault Ste. Marie to Kinross, Trail #49 –

Date of Report: December 7, 2017
Area Report:
COLD has come to Sno-Eagles Country! High teens during the day & much colder at night. The freeze up of the wet swamps & boggy areas is underway. With that SNOW is also falling. Last night, Wednesday about 3 inches of very dry “feathery” snow fell.
The target date for opening of the Trails has moved to December 17 at the earliest. Keep in mind that this all depends on how well wet areas freeze up & the level of SNOW. With the opening could come some trails staying closed until safe.
Keep THINKING COLD!!!
