Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Glide Wax: Vauhti Violet, Grip Wax: Vauhti Universal Klister

A very strange day. Nothing in the park appears to have been groomed except for short section of about 1 kilometre heading up the hill from P8 in the direction of P5. It looked to me like there must have been some kind of mechanical problem because there were deep ruts, piles of snow in weird places and the odd large hole where the groomer looks like it got stuck. While we haven't skied there, reports from Nakkertok South indicate that it was in good shape today so if you are considering skiing, that's where you should try, I think.
