 Play in the snow and discover your inner child in Sault Ste. Marie, where an average 120 inches of snow falls annually, laying the foundation for the adrenaline rush that awaits you on our ski trials, tubing runs, snowmobile trails and more.
Hundreds of miles of well-groomed trails await you in the Eastern U.P., where snowmobile is the favorite form of winter transport. In Sault Ste. Marie, snowmobiles are allowed on most city streets, which link to a trail system that leads across the Upper Peninsula. Trail reports are available online and several events revolve around our love of snow machines, including the granddaddy of them all: the International 500 snowmobile race, held on the first Saturday in February.
Sault Ste. Marie has recently opened up the streets for snowmobilers this year, where automobiles now share city streets with winter’s most exciting mode of transportation.
The “Soo” has always been identified with snowmobiling, thanks largely to its status as home to the International 500 endurance race. Our community is surrounded by a system of trails groomed by the Sault Snowmobile Association and local businesses put out the welcome mats every winter for another active snowmobiling season.
Opening city streets is regarded by many as the ultimate invitation to the snowmobile enthusiasts seeking the right combination of city lodging, restaurants and entertainment near wooded, well-groomed trails connected to the city by a tunnel beneath I-75.
