Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Champlain Pkwy, #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Yellow, Grip Wax: Vauhti Universal Klister (guess), maybe with some Red
The skiing is still good! Watch out for a bare patch at the Penguin lookout, but otherwise coverage is still good. I doubt the snow at Champlain and Huron lookouts will last much longer, however the rest of the parkway is in good shape and was groomed (on one side) for both classic and skate. Ridge road had no new grooming but was very skiable (a bit dirty). It is still possible to use good skis out there. Get out and enjoy!
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.
