Larose Forest trail reports
I know I’m crazy, but I was out on the trails this morning. The western trails were a mix of hard snow and rough ice, but almost entirely still covered. Lots of small branches and other tree debris. I took 2 dogs for my first team, and certainly recommend small…
Trails at Larose were in good shape this morning. Still mostly snow covered. Surface was crusty, sled runners and paws breaking through about 1/2 cm or so, good bite for cornering. Consider booties for tender paw dogs when running earlier in the morning at this time of year. 10/11 is…
All trails are groomed. Although the base is thin, the trails are pretty much perfect. Solid underneath with a soft top great for cornering.
The race course has been re-groomed. David will go back tomorrow to repair the grooming drag and run over the cross trails that didn’t get done for the race. Moose and Rollercoaster are double groomed. That will still be a bit icy and hard (it took 6-8 passes to get the race…
All trails are groomed. Hopefully they will freeze tonight. – Kent
After experimenting at home, David says it’s too wet to groom today. We’ll try again in the morning and post the results.
Conditions for grooming are tricky this morning. We are going to run a test at my house to see if we can groom without making a mess and get back to everyone. The ice crust would be hard on the dogs paws without grooming, so we recommend waiting until we…
ALL TRAILS ARE OPEN and as wide as we can get them. PLEASE ENJOY. This year we are trying something new, grooming 2 separate trails down the main drag. – Kent I was on the trails – I can attest they are in excellent shape! Thanks David and Kent for…
Concession 11 is 90-95 back to normal (Yay Kent!). Stay off the trails on Saturday to let it set. Sunday should be ok; possibly bit slick after the rain and quick freeze depending on how it fell today.
Trail hazard! Concession 11 has had a tractor on it. The ruts don’t look that bad from the parking lot, but they get over a foot deep between JGL and End Loop. Very hazardous. Kent is going to see if he can repair this evening with the hope that it…
