Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #26, Glide Wax: Vauhti blue, Grip Wax:
Most of our ski was on the parkway near Asticou, but also on trail 26 and 5 near there. The trails and parkway hadn't been groomed at that time but the new snow wasn't too deep, so the skiing was still pretty good and quick. Classic tracks were visible but snow-covered.
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.
