Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #27, #15 (blue), #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), #35, Glide Wax: swix universal, Grip Wax: universal klister

left Orleans this morning with klister wax on my skis and arrived at Asticou to find fresh snow starting to accumulate. No matter, klister worked fantastically, probably the best ski of the season so far. No fresh grooming anywhere but it didn't matter, glide and grip were perfect. My route was GP, #35, #15, #5, #27 and back to Asticou on #29.
