Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #1 Penguin Climb, Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: vauhti LF Violet, Grip Wax: vauhti K15 (silver)

Today was mostly a parkway ski for XCOttawa as we were working on our classic striding with intervals up the big hill from P5. However, Sheila checked out Penguin and said it was really nice too. The extra snow from last night made everything a lot less icy and generally it was a really nice day for a ski.
