Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
I was skiing in the Kingsmere area in the morning and in the afternoon. Conditions were much as they were yesterday afternoon: quite delightful for skating, a bit slower for classic. There was a bit of light, loose snow on top of a previous grooming. Not much more to add except that by 4:00 a light drizzle was falling.
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).
