Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Just another great day what more to say. Decided to try out P1 from Asticou today. My route was #5=>#29=>#27=>#5 right to Mine road=> back on #5=P1.
Trail #5 is groomed to the intersection with #29, likewise #27. Trail #26 no grooming, and part of #29 to the junction with #27 also no grooming. There are skier tracks at the bottom of #15 but dont know if the trees are cleared out.
I posted an different kind of picture today, for those who have encountered hikers walking on trails. This signed is posted on trail # 5 just a few meters from mine road. Looks pretty straightforward, I wonder how many of these signs are posted at the different parking lots, not enough of them apparently.

The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
