Larose Forest trail reports
A big thank you to Seb for the following update: Mush Larose signs are now up on both sides of Concession 10 at new trail and also on both sides of the 25 (I also cleared the brush on the one side of the new trail off 25). I added…
All the western trails are groomed! Conditions are nice. Moose is done. 10-11 is done but very rough in the new section, no skijoring is possible in my opinion. Gun Club is done but needs branch trimming and is rough. Devil’s Elbow is washed out and I could not go…
Western trails are groomed. 10-11 and eastern trails are not done yet. Conditions are good, a few rough spots on moose. – Nick
There appears to be a snow berm blocking P1. UPDATE – it wasn’t forestry, just some individuals messing around – will be fixed on Monday. Also note: There has been water damage in Devil’s Elbow (between Gun Club and Tower Loop). For our safety, this trail is closed until further…

Sorry to have to say this, but the trail at Larose is too icy for a race, and with the forecast, it’s not going to change by this Sunday. We are rescheduling to Sunday, December 8. Please let Jeff know if you are available to volunteer for the new date! On…
What looks good: Most of Big Pine, 3rd trail, East section of 4th, most of Bypass (but not Moose!), MalamuteWhat doesn’t look good: Pretty much the rest. There is a 2-3ft wide strip of icy crusty snow on about 80% of the trails. In some areas there is a good…
