Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Blue, Grip Wax:
Very hard packed, icy conditions from the melt and freeze. Recommend skating as the tracks were very icy. Nice mild morning for a ski- the snow in the forecast will make a big difference and will shape things up nicely for the weekend!
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).
