Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Skate skied P8-P9 and back three times. Skate lane is icy. But you can skate ski reasonably well in the skidoo lane. Best option in my opinion.
Classic tracks looked like a block of ice that had been trackset. I saw 6 classic skiers. One told me he needed to reapply klister 3 times. Most of them were practicing their double polling, which seems the only way to go on classic.
No precipitation while I was there. So once temperature goes down again, Demsis should be able to make it all pretty again.
