Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, #30, #4, #14, #31, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Just a short ski out today from P7=>#30=>#1=>#4=>#14=>#1=>Shilly Shally=>#1=>#31=.#30->P7. Conditions were better then I thought they would be, still soft but not as slow as I thought it would be.
Just the scenery is worth the outing, i met the groomer going down Booth hill and later by Shilly Shally. Ridge was being groomed, trails #4, #14, Racing course were already done. Someone had skied on Frank's but not Highland's. I just tried Frank's between Ridge and #31 and at some places I had snow almost up to my knees.
It looks like we are in for a string of days like today around zero and just below freezing at night. All I can say is there is no lack of snow around, looks like a good month of March ahead!!!
