Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #15 (blue), #35, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Carrot

Mostly trail 15 in both directions,with a detour to Pink Lake and the required minimum of parkway skiing to get on to the wooded trails. The snow was somewhat slow and soft, but seemed to be groomed in the last day. It was delightful to have such wintery conditions and so few people to share the trails with! Was it just the late hour, or has everyone packed it in? Mine was the last car in the lot, at 6:15. A photo is posted at http://musicianonskis.ca/blog/2013/03/march-03-2013/
