Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, #1, #30, #31, Glide Wax: Rode GLF Blue, Grip Wax: Rode Super Blue
Lunchtime ski from P7. Beautiful sunny day of course, and not cold like it was this morning. Conditions were very good on Ridge Road for both classic and skate...not icy but quite hard packed. On the parkways things are a bit softer and slower.
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.
