Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1B, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #3, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Violet., Grip Wax: Vauhti K12/K15

We skied on the parkways, Ridge Road and Burma this morning, starting from P10. For the most part, conditions are quite good. We have a firm base with a dusting of new snow that starts to glaze a bit in places, but I don't think grip waxing would be that difficult (we were skating). Burma is lots of fun but it remains a bit narrow, meaning that skaters cannot avoid skiing on the classic tracks in places. This shouldn't ruin anybody's day however. The mild temperatures and nice conditions at the same time won't be available forever!
