Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #4, #14, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
P9, fortune, Ridge, trail 14, racing trails, trail 4, Ridge, Lookout. It was beautiful everywhere, and for the best adjectives, read all the other reports! ("pulchritudinous" is my favorite!) As Ken also mentioned, the abrasive snow was a factor. I had lazily ignored this and ended up having to stop twice to re-wax.

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.
