Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Skied from Asticou out the parkway and back on the smaller trail with the long steep hill. Skied classic but the new snow was pretty light so it was hard to get grip. I would recommend a warmer Vauhti wax, I had some colder stuff on and wasn't getting great grip. Very nice day for a ski though, skating might be nicer.
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.
