Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #2 (from #40 to #1), #33, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Did the short Meech loop. Conditions are very hard pack on the groomed trails: sometimes my pole tips would bounce off the snow when climbing. Maybe I should sharpen them. The downhills are fast. I am happy to have steel edges. I ventured on 21 and would not recommend back country trails for anyone right now. More snow would be useful.
