Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #2 (from #40 to #1), #24, #33, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Ken and Ron pretty well summed up todays conditions. My leisurely route was from P12=>#40=>#24=>#1=>#24=>#40=>#33=>#2=>#40=>P12. The usual bare spots that Ken mentioned on #40, more or less the start and the end of #40, a couple of small spots on #24, one big rock showing on #33, but nothing that you cant ski around for now. I had a blast coming down #2 it was fairly fast but easy to control no bare spots or rocks on it.

I talked to a skier that had been to the Fire tower and he didn't have to take his skis off at all. Although the big hill going up to Wolf bench has a bare spot in the middle, otherwise its all good.

Parking lot P9 is closed up , i suspect as well is P5. Now the question is will we make it to next weekend!!!!!!!!
