Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , #5 (green), #27, #15 (blue), #15 (black), Glide Wax: Vauhti purple, Grip Wax: Guess: Vauhti universal klister
Feels a lot like Spring today. The snow conditions are a little wet, soft and granular. The control is great and it's not as slow as you might think. Conditions also seem to be consistent through out the park. The warmer temps make the skiing quite pleasent and ejoyable so leave work early and get out there! Hope you are all looking forward to a exciting Gatineau Loppet weekend. The course should shape up quite nicely!
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.
