Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue., Grip Wax: Vauhti Super Binder, covered with Vauhti K18 or K15

The conditions are "surprisingly good" out there. The translation for that being, it wouldn't be considered good if it was January, February or March, but given that it is April 16th and there is no snow in the city, it is good. The snow yesterday made it skiable. Under the snow it is very icy, but we got just enough to fix that problem for now. It is also very pretty out there with the sparkly tree branches and the beautiful sunshine. Skating is probably best right now. Enjoy the last few days!
