Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Camp Fortune Race Course, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: Suggest Vauhti Super Binder/Teho Green mix as a base, covered with Vauhti Fluor Orange
We went to the racing trails at Fortune today, and they were in very good shape for both classic and skating. Really fun to be out on the trails that have been the scened of several national championships! Conditions are certainly hard and icy, so careful on the downhills and make sure you have some binder on if you are doing classic.
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).
