Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: Storage (purple I think), Grip Wax:
Cold but absolutely no wind and sun made for a great morning. First (of many) skiis from P3 this year. Track looks like it was groomed yesterday and is in good shape. Despite the cold, wrong wax and squeaky snow it was running fast.
Interesting transition from P3 where there are no trees down to the top of Pink where the trees are bowing/ falling.
All of the 'small' trails (5/14/26) look to be closed and cordoned off still.
Enjoy.
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.
