Reset the track at south Soumi up to the north lot. Only a couple inches of fresh snow but some drifting and snow shoe traffic.

North Suomi trails groomed and track set. West side of Kremer Lake not done, but skied in. Extreme drifting in a number of areas, so use caution, as they didn't groom out well. Spruce Island area the worst. The track setter didn't set very deep, but it should be ok.

Deep snowdrifts across top of Doktor Lake ridge and on the way down the Spruce Island sluice way. Made the skiing challenging and fun. Groomers have not been out all week but skiers have been making lots of tracks in the soft snow. Enjoy the ride before it melts and gets hard and icy!

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.

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.
