Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
An early morning skate ski around the parkways near Kingsmere. Very few skiers were out and about - possibly resting up for tonight's celebrations? Conditions were fabulous and freshly groomed. Some large pines had recently fallen near Lac Mulvihill and crews were inspecting them. There are unsettling, creaky sounds in the forest which makes you wonder which tree will be down next!
Happy New Year!
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.
