Larose Forest trail reports
Steve: I groomed all Mush trails. It snowed a bit after, but they should be in pretty good shape. The new section across the swamp is icy and a bit rough. I noticed someone had traveled next to what is groomed over the swamp. It might be worth telling people…
The western trails were mostly in excellent shape today. • Snow hooks do mostly now hold in the base. • There has been a moron in a truck down the main concession, but it is possible to work around the ruts with sleds without much difficulty – I suspect a…
Skijored on Gun Club and Tower loops this morning around 11. Temp was about -20 but not very windy. Trails do not appear to have been groomed since last week but they were in decent shape for the most part. The one exception is the south portion of Gun Club…
From SEB: Just got word from Nick that all trails have been groomed including the swamp. Nick confirms the new trail through the swamp was slushy today. [So it will be possibly chunk ice and certainly rough by morning.] I made a bit of a hole in the snowbank on 10th concession,…
Went skijoring around 9:30 before the snow was heavy. Big Pine, 3rd Trail, through the ravines to JGL, End Loop, Malamute and Parking Lot Bypass. Trails were in good shape – packed base with a some soft snow on top – although the snow coverage on the bypass was still…
Very good trail conditions this afternoon (Friday) on the western trails! Please note that the reopened Ravine trail has some remnants of cut saplings sticking out on crest of the descent on the south side. Can potentially be problematic on skis (can easily get skis caught on the descent). A…
From Nick: “All trails off the 11th have been double groomed including the steep ravine! Moose and 10-11 have 1 pass and snow was packed on the new swamp trail, gun club north and south and old tower loop. If we have time tomorrow we will try to finish the grooming and…
First of all, Russland Road is now open. Skijored the west trails this morning – 1st, 4th, ditches, JGL and parking lot bypass. All of these were packed down and in good shape except for Parking Lot Bypass – which was very soft. No bare spots, but the snow layer…
Received from Nick late this afternoon: The trails west of 11th conc have been packed including Malamute with the small groomer and we did 1 pass. Conditions are marginal and debris is still showing in some areas. Nick says it would be helpful, if people wanted, to snowshoe Moose trail and…
Russland Rd will be closed starting next Monday (Dec 4th) for two weeks from Garland Rd to Limoges Rd. Please check into alternate routes if you are planning to use this route to get to the forest for the Poker Run.
