Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: Purple, Grip Wax:
Very fast conditions but the parkway has frozen over and is somewhat rutted. Definitely ski-able but not that much fun. Did lots of double poling in the classic tracks. Nice day otherwise though. We need some snow!
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).
