Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: LF7, Grip Wax: VR45 with a binder
Great conditions on trail 1. A little icy on some of the downhills but overall great conditions. The snow is a little abrasive so after an hour or so of skiing my wax started wearing down. I skiied from P7 to Champlain Lookout and back. The trail was in great condition all the way there and back.
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.
