Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauti Blue, Grip Wax:
Went for an excellent skate ski today with some XCOttawa girls. The conditions are quite icy but they did do some grooming from P10 to huron lookout that has helped to smooth things out. The first two turns out from P10 are very icy but then snow coverage on top of the ice gets a bit better so don't be discouraged!
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).
