Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1B, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #2 (from #40 to #1), #24, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Started out from P12-=>#40=>#24=>#1=>#1B>#1=>#2=>#40=>P12. Nice day all trails were groomed, $40 especially nice, grooming on Ridge stops at intersection with $24 see picture. There were signs of traffic past there but I didn't venture out that way to see how far along they have cleared out.

Garry will be pleased to note there was a nice snowmobile rut in the skating lane coming out of Western chalet heading back onto Ridge going towards Huron.

If you are heading down trail #2 black be cautious it is quite uneven and bumpy, being the first time down this year I took it quite slow, there were many trees and branches cut down on part of this trail, and also a lot of foot marks on the trail,

Ski trails are for skiing NOT for hiking!!!!!
