Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: vauhti blue klister covered...maybe with carrot?

We got a nice surprise out there this morning. Given the freezing rain yesterday we were expecting it could be rough out there today. However, they had groomed from P10 to Huron for both classic and skate and it worked really well! Skating is the better option right now (the grass is coming through the track in places) but both are possible. The skating lane was well groomed and nice and fast. That combined with the sunny sky and sparkling trees made for a great ski!
NOTE: When we went, there was only grooming from P10. If you plan to go from somewhere else you should check the grooming report to see what has been groomed.

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.
