Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, #3, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Carrot

A delightful ski, it more than made up for the last two. Snow was falling, wax worked like a charm, and the classic tracks were the correct shape today, although with the fresh snow it didn't matter much whether you skied in them or out of them. It felt like mid-winter! Other years I've skied Burma every second day or so, but this year it was actually only my first time skiing it (!!!!) The only thing that would (possibly) have improved today's outing, might have been to skate Burma. Such a beautiful trail, it was tempting to go back up again just to come down a second time. Lots of happy skiers were out. Pictures will be posted this evening on musicianonskis.
