Green Belt

Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: swix blue - polar as a binder wax

This is a Larose Forest Report. Skied out from P1 on Indian Creek road this afternoon. Tracks were shallow and crusty with a light dusting of snow. Not ideal conditions but skiable. Eventually came upon fresh grooming where the upper loop meets up with the cross trail over towards hwy 8. There the skiing improved remarkably giving excellent grip and speed. A pleasant surprise as I expected the county would wait to regroom after tonight's freezing rain and rain. Skied as far as concession 8 and back to P1.
