Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Thursday Evening ski. Skate skiing was surprisingly good for my first ski of the year. It looked like the groomer had recently packed it down again. My poles felt like the were hitting the pavement around the Fortune Lake swamp for a bit. My ski compressed down to the pavement only once, and that was on this same section. Ridge road had been groomed but not trackset. The short section I skied was lumpy as to be expected with this little snow.
