Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #2 (from #40 to #1), #3, #33, #40, #21, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Blue (3-10C) and it worked for once
A great ski yesterday afternoon, shorter than the full distances outlined. I climbed 40 to 33 and then took 21 to 3. I turned right at 3, skied to 1 and went west back to 2 where I descended to P12. It was a lovely loop of 12 km with a mix of backcountry and mainline. The descent on 2 was fast and empty. We have been so blessed with good conditions this year.
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.
