Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax:
Conditions are pretty perfect for both classic and skate. It was a bit windy so there is a bit of wind-blown snow in some of the classic tracks. The snow is also pretty fast, which makes for awesome skiing!
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.
