Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: Vauhti Carrot covered in Vauhti Blue
Excellent ski conditions! The parkways are groomed for both classic and skate. There is still the odd tree that you have to duck of skim past, but overall very good tracks. Ridge road looks to be groomed, but did not have the chance to check that out. Wear a buff, it's a tad chilly!
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.
