Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #1B, Glide Wax: LF7, Grip Wax:

Skate skied at about 9:30. A fresh centimeter or two over a compact surface provided good conditions for controlled, fairly fast gliding on Fortune and Champlain Parkways as well as on Ridge road (#1) and 1B. Good fun!
LF7 swix purple was a good choice.
Conditions are likely to change throughout the day....hopefully not too much freezing precipitation!!
