Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #30, Glide Wax: Rode Green, Grip Wax: Rode Super Blue, covered with Rode Green
It's one of those days where it feels colder than it is because of the wind, snow, and humidity. Ridge Road and the parkways were in great shape for either classic or skate, both having been groomed overnight. Waxing is easy.
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.
