Green Belt
Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: skins
Larose Forest Report from P1 on Indian Creek Rd. Fair to good tracking from Saturday. +4 when I arrived with my waxless skis. Grip and glide was good to excellent in the shaded areas but sluggish and sinking in the sunny areas. I suspect wax skis with universal klister would have been a better bet as the slushy areas outnumbered the dry spots.
