Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #1 Penguin Climb, #1, #4, Camp Fortune Race Course, Glide Wax: HF8, Grip Wax:
Fresh grooming on the Gatineau parkway this morning. Ridge road/ penguin and number 4 also groomed. The 'upper' race trails were not groomed but the lower shooting range section was. Champlain parkway had not been groomed as of about 7am. Great skiing. As many have said the conditions were variable and likely got hairier as the day went on. However this weekend was two of the best skiis of the year! Enjoy.
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.
