Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, #51, #52, #53, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Beautiful day out there, took Ron's advice did the Wakefield triangle counterclockwise, P17=>#53=>#51=>#50=>#52=>#53=>P17. As you can see by the pictures I crossed the Groomer just past the intersection of #50 & #55, so I had nice fresh tracks to ski on, the rest was not groomed but nice to get that new snow from yesterday.
Conditions were slower with the new snow and mild temperature but pleasant to ski, with a mix of sun and clouds.The next couple of days should be good until Wednesday, hoping the rain will change to snow.

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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
