Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: LF7, Grip Wax:
At noon, there was fresh grooming from P8 to Champlain Parkway and on to Black's hill. Conditions for skating were firmer and faster on either the right or left side of the parkways...the middle was a little too soft particularly along Champlain.
I noted that grooming had also been done on Penguin up to Ridge.
Great day for an easy recovery ski!
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.
