Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, #2 (blue), #2 (from #40 to #1), #9, #33, #20, #21, #11, Glide Wax: vauhti blue, Grip Wax: vauhti carrot
Another nice day on the trails. I did a loop out of P12 skiing up 40 to 33 - 21 -20 -9 then a short jaunt up the parkway to 11 - 1 and finally down 2 and 40 to the car.
The groomed trails had all been reset and were in excellent shape. The backcountry trails were equally nice. The snow had set up a wee bit since Sunday and was a little less fluffy but was still easily managed for fun skiing.
As Megan said the waxing was easy and the warm sunshine made for a great day on the trails.
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.
