Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #2 (from #40 to #1), #24, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Still some good skiing out of P12. My route was #40=>#24=>left on #1=>#2=>#40=>P12. Only 2 thin areas on this route see pictures, everything else was good, still a foot of snow on bridges on #40. I have skied on these bridges with a few inches of snow before.

The trails were in better shape then I thought they would be, soft but hardly any boot marks or big ruts, and you could ski the big descent on #2 with ease. A few small twigs and branches are appearing here and there where the tree cutting took place.

With the forecast of colder temperatures and possible snow friday, I am guessing we may get another week or 2 of skiing.
