Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, #32, Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: F4 universal, Grip Wax: Universal klister covered with VR30
Overall another great day! A few cms of snow overnight, particularly in the higher elevations, meant for very good conditions overall. New grooming, as some others have said, has meant granular sugar snow covered by a bit of new snow in most places. There are still some icier sections, with classic tracks being very shallow indeed. The #32 in particular... Skating looked to be quite good as well.
Wax choice was actually quite good, and allowed for decent grip in most places.
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.
