Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Glide Wax: Rode Blue, Grip Wax: N.A.
Of course it was very nice for skiing this morning. The parkway near P5 was in more or less perfect shape for classic and skate. Ridge Road was also groomed very recently and is in good condition. Some spots are still a bit bumpy/soft and there is some dirt near the Penguin lookout.
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.
