Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #36 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Another try at 36 but only 4km in and back for lack of time. Not much has changed. Trail is overall pretty good. A few rocks showing in the middle of the trail shortly before you get to the boathouse. Snow/ice near boathouse will be all gone on a 100m stretch any time.
I came across somebody who was skiing in from Lac Philippe. He said conditions were good all the way from there.
