The western trails are groomed except for parking bypass. Overall good conditions with a few spots of dirt in a few areas. – Nick
Back at Larose again this morning. Ran down 10/11 to the 4-Corners (Concession 10 and the skidoo trail) and then around Gun Club and back. We had to go through the concrete blocks at the Concession 11 end of 10/11 and over the log at the skidoo trail end, but…
There was 10-15 cm of snow on the ground at Larose this morning – nice easy running snow, not the wet clingy kind. There is no grooming until after the holiday break, and maybe not quite enough to groom yet anyway, but enough to sled on. Several teams were out,…
All organized club events will be rescheduled or cancelled for the duration of the COVID shutdown in Ontario. The trails however will remain open for individual use. Grooming may be a bit less reliable due to forestry staff limitations. We will post in the trail reports section when we have…

The race course is groomed and also the 11th. I think the rest is usable also as the crust should support you and the dogs. Not enough time to do the rest, sorry. – Nick Note from Dana: They are fighting the high temps with limited time below zero to…
From Dana: The trail report after yesterday afternoon’s grooming isn’t ideal. We will still hold today’s event, but please be aware that the trails have some issues. We will clean up what we can this morning, but I am not sure how much we will be able to get done…
