Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: the right one :-), Grip Wax:
Parked at Asticou and skied a full loop on the Parkway and 5 on the way back where we could. First time ever for a full parkway loop. No better time to try it but the present.
There is no other way to describe the skiing and the scenery but fantastic and breathtaking (not referring to the effort on the up hills when trying to keep up with guys who are stronger than you are).
Saw the snowmobile and chainsaw as well and thanked them for their work--they have a lot ahead of them... but it will be amazing for a long time.
Enjoy the conditions while they last (hopefully a long time).
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.
