Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, #1, #30, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Blue Extra
Such a treat to ski in the warmer temps and with fresh snow. Conditions were excellent for skate or classic - we opted for the latter. Great grip and glide. Have to wonder why there was no signs of grooming anywhere we skied. Get out there before things warm up and spoil these conditions.
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.
