Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, North Loop, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Violet, Grip Wax: Vauhti K-Line silver or hairies or waxless
I would say we have received about 30cms so far in Chelsea. Pretty heavy snow-but not as wet as in the city. Trees are down all over the place above P10, so watch your head.I don't think I have personally ever seen more trees down or falling as I saw today. The groomers have been out in force trying to keep up. Fortune, Champlain and the North Loop (P8-P9) were all in fairly good shape for either classic or skate.Classic waxing is obviously tricky.
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.
