Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: n/a, Grip Wax: universal klister

Larose Forest report from P2 on hwy 8. A mid afternoon ski and was expecting wet sinky snow and was not disappointed. That was definitely the case in sunny areas but tracks in the shady areas were firm and responded well to universal klister. Tracking varied from deep and well formed to shallow and none. Snow is still very deep with a few watery/icey spots and some areas that are very dirty with needles, bark and debris but clean for the most part. Tracking is good from P2 but ends at the fork in the loop on the left side but continues on the right straight across to P1. The east trail on the south loop down to Perron is blocked off to skiers due to exposed water sections.
