I finally managed some ski commuting today-from P5 to Relais Plein Air with some detours. Then I took the bus to town. The parkways had been groomed on one side for skate and classic. We would strongly recommend skiing where it has been recently groomed as it is rutted and icy elsewhere. Where there is grooming there is great skiing-fast, smoooth, and just soft enough to feel nice under your feet.
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.
