Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti LF Yellow, Grip Wax: Vauhti Universal Klister with a touch of Vauhti Red Klister and a touch of Vauhti Silver Plus Klister

There is certainly no shortage of snow in the Fortune/Champlain area. No grooming has taken place over the last several days however, so conditions are deteriorating to a certain extent. In some places this morning in was quite icy, while in others soft and wet. The classic, tracks, while still visible in most places, are certainly getting worse for wear. All this being said, I would still recommend skiing today, and I think the weekend should be good.
