Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
As everyone said, the conditions were excellent today. In 20 years of skiing I have never seen 100% of the trails open in April, with no melting in the woods. And now for something completely different: The warm weather on a clear and not -20 day got us to pull out a camera with a 20x zoom. This shot was taken from the Huron lookout, and only on clear days can you see this, about 18km away, the Kanata business park near March road with the Canadian Tire centre in the background.
