Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #15 (blue), Pink Lake Access, Glide Wax: Vauhti HF Pink, Grip Wax: Vauhti Blue Klister covered with Vauhti Violet Klister
Last night we skied from the start of the Gatineau Loppet and checked out the parkway, 5 and 15. Everything was in super good shape and the snow was pretty fast despite the warm temperatures.
This morning we went to Nakkertok and did classic. The wax of the day seemed to be Vauhti Violet klister, and to keep it on a layer of blue underneath. Later in the day you might need to go to Universal.
Generally the skiing is really nice right now, not too icy and good coverage. Lets hope it stays that way for the weekend!
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.
