Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #51, #53, Glide Wax: Swix Universal, Grip Wax: Swix Green
Skied 53 to the junction at 51 and then on to the Lac Phillipe area on 51. Tracks are good but icey in spots with debris from the pine and spruce trees here and there. Didn't have a good binder and so had to re-wax at least once. Someone mentioned that the turnoff for P17 is hard to spot. I agree.... went back and forth twice before I spotted it. The sign is buried in a cluster of orange construction signs.
