Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: n/a, Grip Wax: swix universal
Did 2 passes of the doldrums and conditions were good. Univeral klister was a bit too sticky in the frozen tracks starting out at around 10:30 but improved as the snow got wetter towards noon. And after that things slowed a bit which is normal of course for wet snow.
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.
