Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
With the recent grooming, excellent skate skiing from P5 to Champlain Parkway and onward to Fortune ....As this was an easy day, I turned back at the top of Black's under a continuous but light rain.
The classic tracks iced up on the way back, but the skating surface remained soft despite some light glazing due to Demsis' earlier grooming efforts. Thanks!!
Fluctuating temps and some nasty precipitation over the next day or so... the Weather Network forecast suggests that we might see some clearing and warm conditions tomorrow afternoon....
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).
