Dan-Senior Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 The Snow-map for north of Sault Ste. Marie is way off this year, by at much as 50%. We were sledding in 42cms of snow. Heading back out again this weekend to a different location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 Updates Searchmont took an absolute beating today! It rained in the Sault, but poured heavily at Searchmont and surrounding area. The snow level has dropped to about 1/3 of what we had earlier this week and dropped 40% since yesterday. This morning, we sledded north for about 25 kms beyond Searchmont and it was still pouring up there. We then sledded back south to the trucks and arrived at 3 pm to a parking lot that was down to gravel. If anyone is thinking about coming up this weekend, forget it. We did spot a huge trailer full of sleds in Searchmont, but not sure what direction they were heading as it appeared, they were looking for snow.

Dan-Senior Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 A photo I snapped this afternoon while up along the ACR railway. In case you are wondering, the Inspection Service Car just went by, so, they are monitoring the tracks. There is no train haulage this winter (as of current) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Some Algoma Bush Crawling yesterday with the early-season beater sled. Snow is getting thin. The party is over for now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Another Day....Another Ride One of my Bush-Crawling buddies messaged me last night. Said he was heading out this morning into the remote highlands north of the Sault with truck and sled in-tow. He's good at sniffing snow locations as he knows the back-country very well. I suspect he will do ok today....I await his report. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooboy Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I did however see there is now premium fuel in Searchmont. although that will help with the situation, for looping around the Sault area. It will still be approx 160 miles to wawa via trail, and 140-150 to Chapleau. But, still good news. Ski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
