Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Skied around the Relais plein Air today , why is it that only part of the park has been groomed today? With the cold temperatures last night everything should have bee groomed.
The best skiing was on Gatineau parkway, trail #5, #27, #29 were fair at best. Trail #26 was AWFUL the middle had frozen boot marks all over making it NOT skiable, unless you stayed in the tracks. I can understand not grooming when temperatures are above zero but today no excuses for that.
Unless they get out there in the morning it will not be pleasant to ski on bumpy and crusty trails!!!!!
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).
