Beautiful day for a ski! Definitely feels like spring. There was fresh grooming everywhere I went and the conditions ranged from wet, to relatively dry to icy. Universal klister is where its at today! I tried the new K-Gold Universal by Vauhti and I added a bit of red (only about 8 drops) and was very impressed with the versatility (both good grip and glide in most places).
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.
