Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1, Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , #8, #31, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax:

Some decent spring skiing out there. The pavement is starting to show through in a few spots, but everything is mostly snow-covered. The snow is starting to get quite dirty off the parkways, so it can be slow going. No new grooming and the classic tracks are essentially gone on most of the trails. There's still some lovely skiing out there, but be warned that you will probably have to hop over numerous streams if you take some of the back country trails!
