Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #24, #40, #1 (blue), Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: Vauhti K Base klister, covered with Vauhti Violet/Universal klister mix
Today we skied from P12 to McKinstry and back. Conditions might be described as semi-firm granular, with excellent grooming the length of the route. Some skaters had done a remarkably good job skiing on top of the classic tracks in places, but other than that, with the right klister job you have what might be described as "hero" conditions: very fast, very nice!
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.
