Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #27, #15 (blue), Glide Wax: Swix Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Blue
Skied up the GP this morning from Relais plein air and returned on the 15 and the 5. Conditions were excellent with the tracks in good shape (mostly hard) with only a few shallow or faded spots. Blue grip wax worked for the most part with only minor slipping here and there depending on the hardness of the track. No fresh grooming as far as I could tell..
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.
