Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1, #30, #4, #14, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Starting from Kingsmere up Wattsford Lookout (quite a crowd at the Lookout but very jolly), we went on to the Ridge Road, taking a detour down #4 and up #14 then on to Keogan Lodge. It was fabulous from start to finish. Though we started late, at 2PM, and the trails were very well used, there was the merest hint of ice very occasionally on the way home.
Trails #4 and 14 were a complete delight and a welcome escape from the crowds.
