Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #15 (blue), #26, #29 (shared), #35, Pink Lake Access [26.1km], Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR40
Relais -#5 to Asticou, parkway, Pink Lake Trail, Parkway to Asticou, #5 and 26.
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).


The NCC also maintains a grooming report on-line. If you encounter people walking on groomed trails, you are best advised to contact the NCC. They are responsible for the enforcement on this so report those trail wreckers whenever you see them by calling 819-827-2020 (Visitor Centre), or email info@ncc-ccn.ca.
