Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: F4 Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Green
Trails in the Relais Centre area appeared to have been freshly groomed (both classic and skate). Demsis seems to be keeping on top of things this year. 29 was finally groomed from end to end for for the first time this season. Conditions were a bit on the icy side but made for a quick enjoyable ski.
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.
