Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #32, #3, #14, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF violet, Grip Wax: n/a

Despite the rain and overbearing fog, skiing today was great! The parkway and ridge road were newly groomed (so the ice was chopped up providing excellent control). Ridge Road was good as long as you don't mind skiing over some branches and twigs. Burma was "groomed" but as Vesta described it, more like someone decided to drive a skidoo through the woods, but still a fun little off-roading ski. If you are like me and love these mild temperatures, get out there, cause it is surprisingly fast! All the work going into trail clearing and maintenance has been incredible this season and much appreciated! Enjoy :)
