Larose Forest trail reports
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…
News from Nick: Yes the trails should remain open this winter. There might be delay in grooming as Steve may have to work from home and i’m still recovering from a wicked tennis elbow. The blocks are still up for now as no decent amount of snow is forecasted.
Short skijor this morning around 11 am on 1st Trail, West Boundary, 4th Trail, Broken Ski Pass and Parking Lot Bypass. Parking lot is bare and muddy but all trails are snow-covered. Conditions are mostly slow and slushy but manageable, except for 1st Trail and Moose between the parking lot…
I groomed the race course again this morning [majority of the western trails]. Condition are good. Solid foam type of a base. – Nick *** Eastern Trails: Trails are not groomed, but hard and fast. A few areas of concern: Concession 10 is icy with open gravel patches and the…
Nick has groomed most of the western trails, which are in excellent shape for skijor or sledding. The western trails he did not groom are still in reasonable shape; trails NOT freshly groomed are: the cross trails from 1st-3rd and 3rd to 4th, 4th past the ditches, 3rd and the…
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…
Western trails will be groomed by 5:00 pm today. Maybe not as wide as last week end. – Nick *** YAY Nick!!!
This fresh in from Nick: I don’t know if we will be able to groom your trails today. Its a mess out here! Lots of broken tree tops and bent over trees.If you can go out and clean up it would be great. – Nick *** Dana: Tomorrow’s Bingo event…
Skijored this morning on Moose, Swamp, Roller Coaster and 10-11. None of these trails have been recently groomed, so they are little soft but still manageable. Concession 11 and Parking Lot Bypass were recently groomed, so I suspect the same is true for all of the western trails.
