Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: vauhti base binder covered with vauhti carrot
Really fast skiing out there! The snow seems to be a bunch of ice beads, which makes stabilization great as well as super fast! Some of the downhills are a bit washed out and icy. For classic I would definitely recommend some sort of binder otherwise you will lose your wax very quickly. Enjoy!
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.
