Started out from P6=>#7=> gatineau parkway=>Pink lake access road=>#35=>#15 blue=>#5=>#29=#27=>#29=>#25=>#15 blue=>#15 black=>P6. Not much to report on the trails other then nicely groomed, fast but pleasant.
My first time in years in the Asticou, Relais plein air area, it is a fairly flat area of the park, fairly wide open, but different from the Fortune area. Good if you dont like those big hills and you want to bring beginners along.

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).
