Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #26, Glide Wax: F4 Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Green
headed out from Asticou and skied 5, 26 and sections of the Gat pkwy in the area. No fresh grooming to be found but at least a centimetre or 2 of fresh snow on top of an icy base made for skiable albeit slow classic conditions. If you're looking to get out of the wind and onto some wooded trails during our cold snap for the next few days this area is in great shape with hardly any debris on the tracks.
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.
