Green Belt

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

This report covers the Larose Forest trails off of hwy 8 south of Bourget, ON, parking lot #2. All trails were snow covered from yesterday\'s storm but last Friday\'s tracking was still visible. A very thin layer of ice made for fast skiing despite the layer of snow. Open area sections tended to be more uneven and sinking with the forest sections tracking much firmer. Blue extra wax gave flawless grip and glide.
