Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: swix polar

This report covers the Larose Forest Trails. Finally enough snow to begin the season at Larose. Fresh grooming for both classic and skate from P1 across to P2 and the Perron Loop trails. As per usual the tracks were a bit debris strewn with needles and bark in the pine section but clean in the deciduous tree and open stretches. Tracks were a bit hard and icey but my polar wax held and nicely and gave excellent grip and glide. Cold day but little to no wind in the forest. Nice break from hill climbing in the Gats!
