Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #15 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: red on blue
I had a short classic ski on R15 from Mine road to Pink lake and back. R15 had enough skiers over it that it was hard to tell if it was track set. But I did see a few spots high up on the sides that were made by a groomer. A few of the hills were already in V shape. It is unlikely that a groomer will do another pass tonight. Nevertheless it was a fast and fantastic classic ski. My SWIX red on blue worked perfectly.
The rumor from Fresh Air Experience is that the large groomer has broken down a few days ago.
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.
