Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: Swix red+ Med structure, Grip Wax:
They had freshly groomed the parkways between P8 and likely all the way down to P3 (I only went to the bottom of Pink). They had also groomed Champlain parkway but I don't know how far they had done it.
Ridge and other small trails did not seem to have been groomed. Where it was groomed was very nice. Otherwise it is pretty crusty. Good to see the groomers out as I have skied every day since Saturday and hadn't seen any evidence of grooming since Saturday.
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.
