Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: Vauhti LF green, Grip Wax: Vauhti Super Binder covered with Fluor Carrot and green or K19

Did a quick skate ski from P6 this evening. The access road to P6 was quite hard but the Champlain parkway was nice and sugary without being too soft. It must have been groomed more recently. The classic tracks were solid and in great shape. I think you would definitely need a good binder to get solid grip though.
