Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, North Loop, #1, Glide Wax: Rode Blue, Grip Wax: Rode Black Base, Rode Super Blue, Rode Multigrade Violet
A particularly beautiful day to be out with a bit of sun and some light snow coming down. The parkways were in great shape and Ridge Road was also good. There is a hard/abrasive base with some powder on top. For classic I would certainly recommend binder or even a klister base.
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.
