Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: Unknown, Grip Wax:
Lets just say that its skiable and just barely. Skated with very little grip on a hard base which is in the process of icing up. Feet hurt from sort of steering over bumps and going downhill could turn dangerous if you were not paying attention and got got into an icy groove. Lets hope Demsis grinds it all up once it gets colder tonight.
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.
