North Suomi all groomed and track set. Everything north of the Orange Lake Road. Yesterday's fresh 4" snow made for nice track setting today. Both loops north and south of the Day Lake parking lot have been widened and nice for a quick venture. The trails further out are quite narrow but the scenery is impeccable!

Groomed the South Suomi trails today from amen lake trails to orange lake road. About 4 inches of fresh snow and lots of wear and tear from happy skiers over the weekend. All the sins have been covered up.

Groomed North Suomi hills trails, everything north of the Orange Lake road. 4" fresh snow. Widened a number of the trails, so hopefully a little easier to herringbone up hills. The Adele/ Spruce Island Lake loop is still a very narrow trail and I wasn't too happy with the results. That will be the next one to try widen a bit. But by far that is the most scenic! Happy Skiing!

Groomed south Suomi along with amen lake trails. Four inches of new snow with a hard track underneath. Tried to follow the old track, but didn't get a chance to ski it, so don't know how it worked. Looked good.

Skiff of fresh slow snow over a reset crusty track made for decent skiing on an above zero day with sun shining. Glad for the redo but some fresh snow is needed, especially on the crusty uphills.

North Suomi trails all groomed and track set. First run at it though, the snow was deep and trails are narrow. Very scenic, fresh snow covered hills and trees.

Had a great ski at South Suomi and took the trail to Orange Lake road and back. Track was great. Sides a little soft but with the 14 inches of snow we had recently that would be expected.
