Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #30, Camp Fortune Race Course, #1 (blue), Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Violet, Grip Wax: Vauhti K12, Vauhti K9
A spectacular morning and I am sure the afternoon will be nice too. Ridge Road, as well as the Fortune and Champlain Parkways were in terrific shape for classic or skating, having been groomed overnight. The only trail I saw that was not recently groomed was the Camp Fortune racing trail, does not appear to have been groomed since before the last snowfall.
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
