Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #26, #29 (shared), Glide Wax: Blue (Green would probably be best), Grip Wax:

Hard to beat yesterday's ski as Ridge was freshly groomed Sunday morning-- I have never seen it in better shape. Kudos to Desmis.

This morning was almost as good-- fresh snow was faster than yesterday due to warmer conditions. No fresh grooming but it didn't matter. Small trails and parkway were all very nice.

Blue or Green would both work for glide on this fast snow.
