Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

10am arrived at P7 and took the last parking spot (???). Skated to Western, conditions were interesting. Slow like sandpaper from P7 to FP, much faster to Western. Classic skiers seemed to be having an easier time of it. Winds were a factor, even in the forest. Great day to be out and clearly we were not the only ones with the idea.
