Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, #1 Penguin Climb, #1, #30, Glide Wax: vauhti LF violet, Grip Wax:

I can't get over how awesome the ski conditions are!!! After the rain we got last night, the snow this morning was slushy, but a very fast slush. It was also extremely clean snow for spring skiing, again making it quite fast out there. I would still recommend using your good skis everywhere. Both parkways and ridge road were in excellent condition. Even went full speed down penguin hill with excellent control and zero ice.
