Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #3, Glide Wax: vauhti blue, Grip Wax:

Perhaps an irrelevant report as conditions are about to change pretty dramatically over the next few hours... but conditions were quite excellent tonight. Skipped out of work early for a last ski on "mid winter" conditions. Quite remarkable for March 27th.

Skied the parkway to the lookouts and then back to Huron for a quick break before taking a run down Burma. Light powder over a solid base and my skis were gliding quite nicely. Rain tomorrow and warmer temps for the foreseeable future mean midwinter is likely over. The depth of snow suggests we have a lot of spring skiing ahead though so take advantage!
