Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #52, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue
Skied #52 for the first time ever. Several big climbs on this trail. No fresh grooming and 2cms of overnight light fluffy snow. Tracks were skied on by several skiers who were ahead of me but once I passed them had to cut through the light snow myself. Blue grip wax worked very well. On the way back to P17 a snowmobile had partly obliterated the tracks for about 3kms. Other than that it was a very enjoyable 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.
