Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
After skiing the last 2 days in icy tracks was nice to ski in softer tracks today. Now completely disregard the website, anything that has snow on it is skiable.
I skied around the Realis plein air area, and all the trails there had good snow coverage, one patch of pavement was showing on gatineau parkway at the intersection with trail #26.
Regardless of no grooming in that area of the park, with warm sun and temperatures well above zero why would there be a thumbs down? This website needs a major overhaul for next season.
With temperatures falling tomorrow, I dont expect good conditions unless there is some grooming!!!!
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).
