Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: (guess) Blue Klister with a cover - will change as the day gets warmer!
Skied on the ponds between P9 and P8. Crust sking was excellent at this time of the morning, and there was good coverage. The Doldrums had been groomed recently, and was fast and granular. A little icy and hard where not groomed. Excellent spring skiing!
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
