Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Glide Wax: the right one :-), Grip Wax:

Skied from P8 up Penguin to Western, back on Ridge to the Parkway then down Fortune and the Doldrums to P8.

All in all, an amazing ski.

Looking at the reviews of the outings this season, nothing less than 4 snowflakes given by anyone. That's pretty impressive and I wholeheartedly agree: it's been phenomenal.

Headed up Sunday to do some trail clearing but they are rightfully keeping the chainsaw away from this city slicker.
