Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, #52, #53, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

P17- trail 53 then 50 to Herridge then back on trail 52. The Wakefield Triangle CCW with Herridge thrown in. The parking lot was a skating rink, as Ron mentioned yesterday, but the attendant was throwing sand around in his spare time, much appreciated by all the skiers there. It was quite cold, and yesterday's tracks were hard and still in great shape. By the time we skied 52 the Beech and Oak leaves were starting to accumulate from today's wind, and the 2 longer downhills were getting super hard and scraped from two days of snowplowing - not icy though. Not much to add. It's a real treat to have these trails in such good shape.
