Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (alternative), Glide Wax: Swix Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Green
All trails skied were groomed (5, 27, 26 and 29) as of 10:00 AM but no parkway grooming in the Asticou, Mont Bleu areas. Groomer was just starting on the parkway at around 11:30 at Asticou. Classic tracks were firm and fast where snow had not drifted in. Swix Green grip wax worked very well
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.
