Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, #30, #4, #14, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
First ski of the year from P7=>#30=>#1=>#4=>#14=>#1=>Huron chalet=>#1=>#30=>P7. Like Rick mentioned Ridge now open to Champlain lookout and apparently soon to the bench near #2 were the crews are working.
Another fabulous day Ridge road sure looks different now, resembling closer to a backcountry trail with the trees covered in snow and branches leaning over.
The pictures I took are the entrances of 2 backcountry trails much work to be done there. Many skiers out enjoying the scenery and snow was still falling lightly.

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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
