Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1, #1B, #24, Glide Wax: purple, Grip Wax: k-12 covered with K-15 vauhti

Wow! It's packed out there! Skating was pretty fast and firm today. Trails were probably groomed on friday, but they are holding up just fine (classic tracks included!). I started at Camp Fortune and went up trail 1 towards the fire tower. This is some of the best skiing we will probably get for the next few years, so get out there before it all melts. The sun is setting later than ever, so go after work while it is still shining! Put some sunscreen and sunglasses on! It's bright out there!
