Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
The last time I was at Huron there was an NCC notice stating that, due to a policy of keeping the park as natural as possible including a prohibition of feeding wildlife, the bird feeders would be removed. Those welfare-bum chickadees can look elsewhere for their sunflower seeds.
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).
