We planned to classic ski Gatineau Parkway again today, but, to our delight, the 5 was freshly groomed and in pristine condition. CBC Radio had just announced that backwoods trails were closed and only parkways were accessible... Only frustration was a walker who was really messing up the skating portion of the 5. While the grooming was excellent (one classic track + skate lane), the snow was still pretty soft, so the walker's boots made deep treads. I should have photographed the footprints, but didn't want to get chilled. I gently mentioned to him that there is a walking trail nearby. We took the parkway back to Asticou -- hadn't been groomed since yesterday and was quite fast. Saw two sets of deer tracks on the classic near Hickory Trail.
