Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: F4 Universal, Grip Wax: Swix blue
Skied from P2 and none of the trails in the area (27, 29, and 5) were groomed (skate or classic). All tracks had a light coating of fresh snow that was packed down by skiers. Heard a groomer out on the Gatineau parkway around 10:30 AM. 29 is now open from end to end.
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.
