Skied the Spruce Island Lake Loop in the north segment of trails. There were a couple-three inches of snow but the tracks were usable most places. The main exceptions were the high spot east of Dr Lake and then along the east side of Spruce Island Lk where there was extensive drifting. It was nevertheless very enjoyable with remarkable scenery in the bright late February sunlight. The topography is fantastic with high surrounding hills and interlake ridglines.

It wasn't pretty when we skiers met up with a deer on the beautifully groomed ski trail! See photo! :).

Groomed 4 inches of fresh snow at north and south Suomi. All is good.

After a day of mechanical problems with groomer snowmobile, finally made it out to groom the fresh snow. All North Suomi trails groomed and track set.

Packed 6 to 8 inches of new snow and then set a track. The deer appreciated it.

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.
