Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: Swix Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Red

Did the trails in the Asticou/Mont Bleu area. The only evidence of grooming was #5. The GP was only groomed for skating. Tricky wax day. Red worked ok on the groomed tracks but was useless on the non-groomed ones which were mostly icey. Klister would have been better. Nice mild weather though...
