Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #24, #40, #1 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Skied out of P12 up to the Wolf bench and back. Met about 12 skiers and a few hikers. Like Ron said still skiable but going fast. On trail #40, only 2 areas of short walking, or if you have rock skis you can keep them on. Its the usual spots one on the bank facing south, other near the bench.

Trail #24 going right is still covered. Trail #1, only bare spot is at Wolf bench hill. Towards McKinstry heard its still covered. There are a few spots where its down to a narrow strip to ski on.

Probably a couple more days left, unless you are prepared to walk more with each passing day.
