Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR40

10:00 a.m. ski on the North Loop. The snow had just stopped, P8 was not plowed, Meech Lake Road was quite slippery, and there was no grooming. Shortly after 10:00 a small groomer passed by and did part of the skate lane. The snow is thick and light, for the moment covering the abrasive rarely-groomed trails of the past week, but we could certainly use a more throrough compacting and track-setting, hopefully before the weekend.
