Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1 Penguin Climb, #6, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Just a short ski around Skyline which apparently has not been groomed since the last time I took it. I prefer it tracked only by skiers. The downhills are quite fast and would benefit by more snow. The Penguin hill descent was excellent.
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).
