Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1 Penguin Climb, #6, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Did the full Skyline loop for the first time today. Both that trail and the Penguin climb were in perfect mid-winter conditions. Let's hope the rain tomorrow does not do major damage.
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.
