Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Swix Violet, Grip Wax: Blue Extra

I was unprepared for how much more snow was on the ground at P10 than in nearby Chelsea! Demsis had groomed the center for skating, and skaters were out in droves, all smiles, even at this late hour. The classic was enjoyable although it was still uneven grass skiing. More snow is needed. There were no problems with coverage in skiing to the lookout, although there were some very thin spots in places. Note: the number of people walking on the trails was disappointing to say the least.
