Larose Forest trail reports
From Jenny-Lee: Just a note that we had a encounter in Tower Loop with someone walking with 2 loose dogs. One dog was named Shelby from what i heard her say. My guys went on by but had to stop as one of her dogs lunged at my young one…
Trails were surprisingly good today. Hard base, if thin, with just enough fresh snow on top to make the footing safe and cornering easy. Footprints and ruts were barely noticeable other than near the parking area, and even there, not a significant hazard. Don’t trust your snow hook, so smaller…
Just an update on the trails. WE ONLY DID THE WESTERN TRAILS. We ran the ski-doo over the trails to try to pack them. The trails are getting hard, but there are lots of foot prints in them to so be careful of your dogs. There are some bare spots…
Not enough snow to groom, but Mother Nature did a reasonable job! The trails were pretty good this morning. Hard crust underneath, but a little soft snow stuck to the surface. Concession 11 was super solid, no gravel. Not enough snow for a snow hook, so small teams only (2-4).…
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…

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.
