Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #27, #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Silver universal klister

Fresh classic grooming on all trails between Asticou right to the end of #5. 29 is showing soil in spots in the field area behind the Relais Centre. Tracks are still the usual hardened and icey base, with some lumpy/bumpy sections. Started out using purple grip wax which lasted all of 10 seconds. Went back to the car to retrieve my klistered rocks skis which performed flawlessly. Big snows tomorrow should change things dramatically..
