Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #8, Camp Fortune Race Course, #19, #22, #34, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Yellow, Grip Wax: Vauhti K Base binder, Vauhti K12 (and likely K9 for later in the day)

We did a nice loop of the small trails this morning, which are in very good shape, if you ask me. Ridge Road and the Camp Fortune racing trail were the only main trails we skied on, and they had not been groomed (I believe grooming is planned to occcur either tonight or tomorrow morning). Grip waxing was a bit tricky, but Vauhti K12 worked pretty well this morning. Zeros or hairies would probably be a good option.
