Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #30, #8, #17, #31, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
My son-in-law, Tim, had told me that 8 and 17 were in good shape late last week so I wanted to try it out on the last cold day. It was hard-packed and excellent, and the downhills had enough snow to permit slowing. I took the route of 8 first as Tim had done and it is a much nicer route. The descent on 31 is a great ending to the loop.
