Larose Forest trail reports
10/11, RollerCoaster, Gun Club south side and Tower Loop are groomed. David says there are a lot of tiny branches and tree debris on the eastern trails as they had less snow on them. There were a lot of downed trees. RollerCoaster near 25 is muddy as the base is…
Western trails are groomed. Started as ice with 2 cm of snow on top, so hard and fast. Eastern trails will be groomed tomorrow.
As most of you already know, Larose Forest has closed the entire trail system until further notice. There is ice covering the concession with a dusting of snow on top from yesterday (maybe 1cm). No point in grooming as the trail is just compacted ice. Pray to the snow gods…
The trails are groomed. Moose is not done because of water and past the Swamp turn off on Gun Club is not done. They had a little trouble with the Alpine’s throttle cable, so the new groomer was only used on Concession 11 and Malamute Loop, and maybe End Loop.…
David and Kent are grooming today. We are going to try the new grooming drag, so it should be a well packed rippled surface suitable for skijor when they are done. I’ll post an update once they have given me their report.
ALL trails are groomed. Except: Moose (because of water) and Gun Club past the Swamp turn-off (again because of water). NOTE: The North side of Gun Club is closed for logging this season. We have a short new trail from the parking area to the ByPass which should allow for…
Just to let everyone know that I went over all of the western trails today to make them bigger. As went over 10/11 and roller coaster. The trails are not perfect yet but working on it. I will be going out again tomorrow to smooth them out. – Kent
David packed snow and cut downed trees and sweepers for another 2 hours on Sunday afternoon. It’s not fully groomed yet, but definitely passable for sled teams. JGL would be the best for skijor, but Concession 11 is not yet groomed to get directly there, so best to approach it…
There is up to 2 feet of new fresh wet snow at Larose. David just got back from making 2 passes to pack most of the western trails with the Alpine by itself. He says it will be tough running, but possible for sled teams tomorrow. Likely still too rough…
The gravel mounds have been removed. There was some logging work removing deadfalls. This has been smoothed out, but Big Pine and JGL may be soft over the recent work areas.
