Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #57, #40, Glide Wax: blue, Grip Wax: blue (I think)

Beautiful evening for a ski and the warmest its been in a week. Skied out of Le Relais and skied a variety of trails and the Parkway. Can\'t remember all the trail numbers but all were in great shape with a fresh grooming underneath 1 or 2cm of freshly falling snow. A brief snow squall made it a little hard to see for a bit but the skis were locked in perfect tracks so no worries, just forge ahead. Despite a dozen cars in the lot I only met 3 people on the trails. Should be a beautiful weekend for skiing with the trauls in such good shape.
