Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Teho Green + VR40
Gave a morning classic lesson on the North Loop. I was expecting conditions similar to those reported yesterday but at the last minute we had a thick dusting of fresh snow which covered the tracks and slowed things down more than expected! Sun was bright, wind was brisk, winter is still here. A beautiful morning.
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).
