Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Don't know-- rock skiis, Grip Wax:
Skating OK. Groomers had been out and all but the first 1km up the hill from p10 or so was in decent shape considering. You can't really kick off at all so it's all about being light on the feet/ weight transfer.
They had groomed ridge-- we tried a bit but too many rocks poking through. You could probably classic on it.
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.
