Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: Harries
Winter is back! A good base of snow along the parkways, but expect to hit pavement several times. Rock skis recommended. It was still snowing when we left and noticeably accumulating on the trails. Trail conditions should be getting better, so expect some decent skiing tomorrow!
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).
