Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Swix Green LF, Grip Wax: N/A

Super cold day with squeaky snow. Once you got warmed up and going it was fine. The grooming was excellent. Perfect skating conditions. Snow was a bit slow so you had to keep a good cadence to keep your momentum.

I only skiid from P5 towards P3 and then turned right up the Parkway towards Mackenzie King. Made it to the top of the big hill before turning around.

Sorry for inadvertently clicking on the race trails during yesterday\'s report. Only the lower biathlon loop, the access to Camp Fortune and the in (4) and out portion of the trails are groomed. The \'inner\' race trails are not yet groomed.
