Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

A quick early morning ski for me. Still blazing fast track groomed only from P10 up to Huron. No new grooming in any direction beyond and - once off the groomed sections the track becomes an unpleasant mix of ice and breakable crust. On the track conditions were quite good so a nice ski can be had albiet a bit icy. I expect conditions will soften a bit today as the temperature slowly climbs. A few flakes of snow were falling as I arrived but not enough to accumulate to anything significant so we'll have to wait for another storm to build on the base.
