Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, #3, #4, #14, Glide Wax: Swix Green LF, Grip Wax: NA
Amazing day of skiing. Started at the Camps fortune lot (not P10) and accessed via the race trails. Everything I skied had been groomed overnight. The snow was cold and squeaky but still relatively fast. Ridge, 4 and the camps fortune race trails were in excellent condition. Even Burma including the final descent was in very good shape. There was no wind and lots of sun which made the -20 conditions great. Tons of people out enjoying a true mid-winter gift!
Gatineau Park is ski paradise! The network of ski trails offer machine groomed skate skiing and classic skiing as well as little groomed backcountry trails. Multiple access points allow skiers to access a variety of terrain and scenery.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
