Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Hoping for new grooming, started at P9 and skated to P8, up Gatineau Pkwy to Penguin, up the hill, and took Ridge to the Fortune Pkwy and back.

Conditions were surprisingly good. Even with the new snow glide was fast. Met the groomer on the GP setting the skate lane. Ridge Road hadn't seen grooming in a while but still good for skate skiing. By 10am there were lots of people out enjoying the warmer weather.
