Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti Green, Grip Wax: Vauhti Super Base Binder, covered with K18
We did a short workout from P10 this morning and only used Fortune Parkway. Grooming was in progress. The skate lanes are actually a bit soft given the recent grooming, with a mix of granular and fresh snow, making it quite fast and pleasant skiing. The classic tracks felt firm. According to the grooming report, the racing trail at Fortune was groomed for both classic and skate this morning..which is great to see!
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.
