Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, #30, #4, #14, #31, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Decided to check on the trails out of P7. Skied up #30=>#1=>#4=>#14=>#1=>#31=>#30=>P7. The good news trail #4 & #14 lots of snow and fairly clean. The bad Ridge road is very dirty understandably with a lot of evergreens there, along with a few flooded areas.
The worse is #trail 30 has a large flooded area near the start, and lots of debris is showing up from the tree cleanup. The Penguin hill is still skiable to one side but not for long. I skied by #6 & #17 they are un-skiable many rocks and ditches opened up.

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.
