Trails Skied: ONSC Trails, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

This report covers the Larose Forest combined trail from P7 to Concession 10. Did a short skate ski in the afternoon, trails were groomed yesterday and were in great shape. Classic tracks looked well formed and deep. A little hard and fast in the woods but also a little softer in areas where the sun hit the trail. Some debris on the trail just east of the picnic table that caused some issues, but only a few pine cones that were easily avoided on other parts of the trail. Saw a moose about 60 yards from P7, and although he didn't stick around for a photo I did notice that he had the good sense to walk on the edge of the trail away from the classic tracks. If only some humans would show the same amount of respect!
