Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Ski number one for the year this afternoon: finally enough snow on the ground to cushion my falls.
Not sure what happened to Gatineau Park, but I skied in Narnia, and they have a P3 there as well... It was unbelievably picturesque with so much snow on the trees and branches. It was actually hard to focus on the skiing part. It was also hard to see with all the fresh falling snow. Darn, eh?
As mentioned, though, there are lots of trees down, especially from Mica towards P6. We did not get past there, so I do not know what it is like further up.
It is definitely worth getting out there.
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.
