Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #7, #15 (black), Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Yellow, Grip Wax: Vauhti Universal klister, mixed with a touch of Vauhti Red klister
Trails 15, 7, and the Gatineau and Champlain parkways were all in good shape this morning for either skate or classic. The classic tracks were surprisingly firm as there seems to be a quite hard base. This makes grip waxing easier than it otherwise might be.
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.
