Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #30, #8, #17, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Lots of fresh snow , skied out of P7=>#30=>#17=>#8=#30=>P7. With these conditions wanted to try out a few of the smaller backcountry trails, what a joy to ski them today.
I only met 5 skiers on both trail #17 & #8, trail #30 had been groomed earlier in the day, not sure about Ridge probably was also done earlier. We are really getting a bonus for mid winter conditions, I thought I had skied the last time on theses trails, maybe get a couple more days out of them before it warms up on the weekend.
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).
