Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #15 (blue), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: F4 Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Green
Classic track conditions on the Gatineau Parkway between the Relais Centre and the Champlain junction have remained about the same since last weekend. Good but slightly icey. Makes for fast but very skiable conditions. Returned via #15 back to P2 which appeared not to have been groomed in the last few days even though the park report states otherwise. Still the tracks were in good shape.
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.
