Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: swix pink, Grip Wax:

Overall, a good ski.

Groomers have been out...at noon, set for skating but not classic on Gatineau, Champlain parkways.
The wet snopw compacts quickly and the surface is firm where travelled. Given the mild, wet conditions, the surface is not always even...snowmobile tracks as staff go about dealing with fallen trees; as well, some depressions in the middle of the road (width of tire tracks) from P8 to the Champlain parkway.
