Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , #15 (blue), Glide Wax: Vauhti blue , Grip Wax:
Perfect conditions this afternoon! It was a big blue bird day with nice hard pack trails. Both skating and classic would be great. I skated but if you classic I can't see to much trouble with carrot (vauhti orange) for grip and maybe cover with blue. Get out there and enjoy it!
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.
