Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: mix of violet and universal vauhti klister over a base klister
Great skiing this morning! The groomers were out on the parkways and Ridge Road (#1) while we were out there. Where it is groomed the snow is sugary and fast. Don't bother going where it hasn't been groomed until it warms up. Karl and I tested the new K-line vauhti klisters this morning and they were really good (K-base covered with K-violet).
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
