Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, #3, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra v40

-5C when we started from a crowded P10 parking lot at 10:30. A bit windy, but only a bit chilly on the final run back to P10. Lots of people out, including a large group of happy students. FLP was in excellent shape, Burma was very good, but had a fair amount of debris. Trail 1 was in good shape, with the downhill run at Khyber very fast but easily controlled compared with two days ago - the ski is just a bit less hard than then. When we returned to P10 the lot was jammed full of vehicles.
