Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #24, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

SKATE: Grooming had been done over the past 24 hours on parts but it had been skated in. The track was still good but it was fast and control was not as great as it has been. On 24 and the less trafficked parts of 1, there was better control.

CLASSIC: Every one of the tracks looked great. They were deep and solid.

PARKING: When we arrived (at 1) the morning rush was either over or the cold had scared people off. There was lots of space at P10 and P8.
