Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: swix universal, Grip Wax: swix green
all trails in the Asticou/Relais de plein air area were freshly groomed as of 10:00 AM for both classic and skate. Conditions were very good with lots of cars at P1 despite the cold. Lack of wind made for a pleasant ski.
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.
