Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Green
Decided to push through the cold weather forecast. Again, the reports of the cold are greatly exaggerated. Along Ridge Road there was limited wind and quite comfortable skiing temps.
We clearly need some new snow. Great deal of debris along the trail. Appears to have been groomed today but the classic tracks were icy. Skate seemed to be the way to go tonight.
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
