Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Waxless

Hummed and hawed until finally psyching myself to leave the warm house early pm. There were four cars at Gamelin. The classic tracks were great, a bit icy but fast. The bright sunshine and multiple layers, plus fast tracks made for a wonderful time. All the dozen or so skiers I encountered acknowledged each other. The connector trails, 5 and others were well maintained. Only noticed how drained I was from the cold on the way back.
