Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #27, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: n/a

Beauty weather out there once it warmed up! Skied (skate) from Relais plein air and the surronding areas. Parkways are extremely hard packed to the point of being icy making it very difficult to balance skate skiing. Bike paths are also hard packed but less icy. I would recommend classic today for maximum enjoyment. The classic tracks looked perfect!

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.
