Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Skied out from lac Philippe P19, on trail #50 up to the bench at the intersection with trail #52. Overall conditions varied from good in open areas to icy with some debris in shaded areas around the lake. A few bare patches here and there but nothing that you couldn't get around.

There had been grooming this morning on #50, I met some skiers that had come up #52 and said everything was good. I could see a few bare patches at the beginning of #55 the usual spots. Probably in the next few days it will be the end of skiing for this area with some walking involved.
