Superb! Stunning blue skies, trees loaded with snow, smiling skiers, perfect classic tracks and temperatures of minus 10 - what more could you ask for! The only slight negative was the runner on the lower Gatineau Parkway - they really have to do something about this problem! The snow is somewhat less deeply tilled and chewed up on trail 5, so that you may lose your grip wax from icier tracks if you haven't applied a good base binder. There was no trace of fallen trees or branches on the lower area of the park, from Mica on down. It's simply a wonderland!

I'll post a few photos (some look very promising - it was so beautiful out!)tonight on www.musicianonskis.ca/blog after the turkey is eaten and the dishes put away.
