Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF or HF Yellow, Grip Wax: Vauhti Universal Klister with some Vauhti Red Klister
Got out for a short ski last night from P5. We went up Penguin and along Ridge Road for awhile. Generally speaking there is still alot of snow. Be careful of a few bare patches on Penguin. It is slow and dirty, and I didn't see evidence of recent grooming on either the Parkway or Ridge Road. Great to still be able to do some reasonable skiing at this time of year though....
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).
