Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue
Excellent classic conditions in the Mont Bleu area this morning. No wind, perfect wax and good tracking. Felt like floating on air! My only quibble was the twigs sticking up out of the tracks on #29 between #5 and the CEGEP. Too bad tomorrow's weather will set things back a bit....
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
