Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , #1 (green) (#2 - #24), Glide Wax: N/A, Grip Wax: waxless
Was there a nuclear war and we missed it? Perfect conditions this am, but noticeably very few people. Parking lots only partially filled. Great skiing, all of it unused from 0830 until 10am. We didn't think it was that cold.
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.
