Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #27, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF violet, Grip Wax: Vauhti K-9 (Fluoro Red)
Classic skied on the Gatineau Loppet trails near Mont Bleu (start/finish area). Grip wax was tricky with the new wet snow. The classic tracks were quite wet, so as the temperature drops it may get icy/fast for tomorrows classic race. How icy will depend on when they groom again, but make sure you have a good binder on for tomorrow (Vauhti blue Klister or Vauhti super binder). Good luck to everyone racing!
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.
