Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: Rode GL 40 Red, Grip Wax: Rode Violet

Skied for a bit this morning but only used Fortune Parkway. It was groomed quite well for skate and classic, but you will want to know that it is thin and not that firm yet, with bare patches here and there and poles still hitting the pavement. Classic skiing worked very well this morning with some Rode Violet, but I am sure that won\'t be the case anymore. Skating looked good...but be light on your edges or you will go through in places.
