Wow. Nice fresh snow over the icy base made it soft. However the snow was so wet it was incredibly slow. You would have to offset on the downhills.
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.
