Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue extra
This reports covers the Larose Forest Trail from the P1 parking area off of Indian Creek road. Essentially 4 or 5 cms of fresh snow and still falling on last week's track set grooming which is still holding. The track on the north section of the loop has been unfortunately obliterated by a vehicle but is still passable. I skied the loop 3 times with the first pass slow having to pack down snow into the track with subsequent passes progressively quicker than the first. More snow on the way, hopefully the township will be able do some grooming..
