Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1 Penguin Climb, #1, #1B, #3, Glide Wax: Group purple, Grip Wax:
A cold but beautiful day for a ski.
Skate skied from P8 up Penguin, Then Burma, Ridge Rd, 1B, Ridge and back to P8 via Ridge and Penguin. Great grooming almost everywhere--firm and fast.
Burma was superb and everywhere else was excellent.
Get out there and enjoy the day.
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.
