Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
A short, late afternoon ski from P10 to the hill just past Shilly Shally. We started at 3PM and Fortune was still in lovely condition, though the bit of trail #1 we did was just starting to get icy. Quite a chill wind at times. We met the same two incredibly tame deer that we saw last time outside Shilly Shally munching on the bird seed.
Let's hope that snow we are promised comes tomorrow!
