Beautiful Spring skiing in January! Fresh grooming, fast effortless glide but lots of base and the snow is still clean. Ridge is wide and level, good classic tracks though I was skating. Burma was the best its been in a long time. Better still was Fortune race course. Great grooming everywhere! Would be the perfect day to ski to the Firetower.
Tuesday 15-25cm and back to below zero, so skiing is looking good for February!
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.
