Larose Forest trail reports
Trails today were very hard ice with a light snow covering glued to the surface. Footing is hard and fast, but the dogs had a decent grip. Most corners are fast, but ok for experienced sledders. Several corners are very icy: 4th to Ditches, north back corner of JGL, north…
Today’s trails hard and fast, still textured enough to be good footing for the dogs. There was a truck on various trails, but mostly no significant damage done. JGL south entrance has a bit rougher truck tracks; though passable for sleds, not good for skis. Those that went early had…
The parking this morning was somewhat icy, but not a skating rink. The western trails were mushy in spots, especially on 1st, but not as bad as expected considering the weather we have had. JGL, End Loop, Malamute Loop and Conc 11 were in pretty good shape. Very pretty in…
Thanks to an awesome trail crew volunteers we were able to repair the (truck) damage on Moose in less than 2 hours. And we had a bit if fun doing it too! Moose remains closed until we get enough snow to groom over the repaired trail Seb
The trails are somewhat mushy but ok as of 6 pm. The daring might find it ok to practice tomorrow. Depending on the overnight temperature, by morning we may have mushy, hard and somewhat icy or crusty surface with softer underlay. The parking lot very likely be icy, so please use…
There were a couple of trucks down Moose trail that have made a big mess in the wet spots. Nick would love if we could go out and manually flatten it, so he can safely drive on it to groom. If some people could stick around after the Poker Run…
Trail report from Nick: All the trail off the 11th conc are groomed and in good shape. There is some gravel on 3rd. DO NOT USE MOOSE TRAIL!! 2 mud trucks went down moose and made a real big mess. If you had a few volunteers with axes, mcloads and…
Ran at Larose this afternoon, thinking it would be messy, but my dogs needed to get out. Though the trails would not have been good for skijoring, they were really quite good for sledding. Thin hard base with 2 cm crusty snow on top; not at all icy (as I…
All the trails off the 11th are groomed including the deep ravine. Conditions are good! I would go out tonight if i were you!! – Nick
There is not quite enough snow to groom yet. For those of you who feel daring and want to use the trails as is, we recommend staying on the western trails. Expect possible driving traffic and truck tracks on Concession 11, as it is still hunting season and the snow…
