Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: v2040 green with vr 40 blue kicker

A nice mid-day run out on the Doldrums plus Gatineau Pkwy to Penguin. temperature -20C when we left P9 at 11:00, with minimal wind. Quite a few classic skiers plus several skate skiers. Classic tracks were in good shape and skate area looked nice and solid. Wax worked pretty well, but was a bit slow. A nice trip to practice classic techniques. Dress warmly and reward yourself after the ski at the nearby restos!
