Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Swix Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Blue
Took advantage of the new snow this AM and so did lots of other skiers. P10 was packed like a Sunday afternoon by 10:00. No new classic grooming unfortunately which made for a slow ski and only 1 lane on either side of both the FP and CP all the way to the lookout. Same for the return trip on Ridge back to the FP..
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).
