Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: swix universal, Grip Wax: swix green
Fast, icey conditions in the Asticou/Mont Bleu areas this morning. Tracks are shallow and hard. Green grip wax worked very well. Unfortunately took a spill on #5 and fell on my hand spraining my thumb. Hoping this doesn't prematurely bring my season to an end... will know tomorrow morning for sure..
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.
