Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: swix pink, Grip Wax:
A recovery day. Had a good skate ski from P8 to Mackenzie King, Black's hill and back. Groomed yesterday, the surface is a combo of old snow and ice chips - showing use, bu still soft enough for the most part for controlled gliding.
No classic tracks available.
With mild, humid conditions today, and falling temperaatures tonight, the base will harden up significantly for the weekend. Hope for some grooming tommorrow and if you can, get out this afternoon!!
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.
