Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1 Penguin Climb, #6, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Blue -5 to -15, worked well
Very good day for a circuit of Skyline. The only skier who had done the full loop this morning prior to me had large canine tracks on top of his or her ski tracks. At first I thought that they were being pursued by a wolf but, given that the animal followed them all around Skyline, and that there was no blood, I am guessing that it was an early morning ski with the dog.
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).
