Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: unknown, Grip Wax:
Snow today: Dough. Straight from the mixer,kinda sticks to your hands. Slow. We went on a short run, but were stopping every 100 meters or so. The rain snow mix over the last few days needs to freeze and get churned up. Classic tracks were icy, the parkways pulled on your knees a bit on the way down.
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.
