Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Skiing up the Fortune Pkwy and along Ridge yesterday afternoon I noticed that the "danger" tape had been removed from Burma, and the trail appeared to be open. I didn't try it since conditions were fairly icy (largely due to refrozen slush bombs that had fallen from trees) but with temperatures going above freezing tonight it might be worth checking out tomorrow once the snow softens. 1B is still closed.
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).
