Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax:
Trails have been packed & tilled, but not enough of a base for tracks. Good for both skate and classic, but you may hit some pavement if you are skating. Poles are still hitting pavement so make sure you have sharp tips!
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).
