Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, #30, Camp Fortune Race Course, Glide Wax: Vauhti HF Silver., Grip Wax: This is a guess: Vauhti K12.
Of course, it's a great day for skiing with mild temperatures and piles of snow. We skated from P7 along Ridge Road to the Keogan/Fortune Parkway junction and also skied on the racing trails at Fortune. By and large, things are in good shape. The snow is in transition from dry to wet, so things are a bit glazy here and there but it is not quite klister time yet if you are classic skiing. The racing trails were groomed for both skate and classic.
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.
