Gatineau Park

Kingsmere Area: skating was good, and quite fast, no new grooming, but evidently there hadn\'t been too many skiers yesterday when the temperatures tipped above zero. Since comprehensive grooming seems to be limited to weekends, it would be nice if the numerous retired weekday skiers could know in advance where the day\'s grooming will be. A footnote to the NCC report, a couple of general sentences would be handy.
Gatineau Park is ski paradise! The network of ski trails offer machine groomed skate skiing and classic skiing as well as little groomed backcountry trails. Multiple access points allow skiers to access a variety of terrain and scenery.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
