Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue

This report covers the Larose Forest Trail from the P2 parking area off of hwy 8, south of Bourget ON. After yesterday's somewhat messy ski from the Limoges side of the trail system tried the newer Perron Trail which loops south of the main east/west link. Mostly fresh classic and skate grooming throughout. The snow through the pine trees from the parking lot down towards the boundary road crossing was somewhat dirty with debris in the tracks but once past this spot the snow was pristine and the tracking beautiful! First time for me on Perron (at the very bottom of the loop) which passes beside wolf creek and has the only hill in the entire ski system. Passed a couple of skate skiers who had big smiles on their faces. Nice to have superb conditions, blue skies and no wind!
