Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: something blue (minus 5 to minus 15)

Late afternoon ski from P5 to Lac Mulvihill and back. Many skiers were out, and the parking lot was well filled. The fresh snow saved the day, as there was no grooming. Classic tracks disappeared for long sections at intersections, and also vanished briefly on the descent back from Kingsmere to Mica. In any case it was a very pleasant ski (only minus 13!)- but grooming is overdue.
