Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra v40
A quick run into Healey Shelter. Temperature around -5C and light snow. Quite a few skiers out, both skate and classic. Wax was good but a bit of slip now and again on the climbs. Hard classic track with some glazing intermittently. Skate skiers looked to be operating under perfect conditions.
