Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, #1, Glide Wax: Swix red/ Red toko structure, Grip Wax:
Not a bad day at all. The first few kilometers from P8 were in great shape. After that the track got uneven as the groomer seemed to have problems with the soft surface. Gets better up by fortune lake. Tried skiing Burma but too soft. Ridge road was decent but pretty soft and slow. Hopefully the rain isn't too bad and turns into snow this morning. If you head out tonight I would recommend yellow with big structure for glide.
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.
