Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
P10->FP->CP->Huron cabin->Ridge to gossip corner->FP
I went out later than Andy. The word of the day is SLOW. It was slow on the way up but not too bad. The bare patches at Huron Lookout discouraged me from going further. Ridge to gossip corner was in pretty good shape. By the time I hit FP, it had gotten quite soupy.
Somebody told me that Ridge was in fairly rough shape after Keogan as a lot of hikers walked it.
This might have been my last ski. This weekend was a blast, and I might want to finish on such a high note.
I'm glad to see the P12 loop was still fun.
Cheers.
