Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: v40 blue extra

-6C when we left P10 at 09:00, -5C on return at 11:00. Grip wax worked very well after the first 150m. FLP was in good shape, with a light dusting of new snow in the classic tracks. Trail 1 was fair, with quite a bit of debris intermittently. On the return the steep right hand turn on Khyber required attention (see pic) but once round that curve it was a nice fast easily controlled run. FLP was nice and fast all the way from 1 to P10. Quite a few people out today, enjoying the lovely conditions, albeit a bit grey.
