Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , #7, #15 (black), Glide Wax: Swix Green, Grip Wax: Vauhti Green Fluor
A balmy minus 18 this afternoon, with fresh snow. No grooming, and the snow was very, very, slow, but it was a treat to be out of the minus 20's. In our group of 7 one had cold toes for the first hour of the ski, otherwise all were happy and toasty. The Kingsmere trails were really beautiful with a coating of fresh powder!
