A beautiful, sunny, "blue wax" day with lovely ski conditions. No grooming, but everything was still good from the last grooming and there was a dusting of new snow.
These are the temperatures and conditions that skiers dream of in July. Get out and ski if you can! (I will post some photos this evening on musicianonskis.ca/blog.)
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).
