Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Excellent classic skiing on the FLP from P10 to the CP. Tracks were well-formed with excellent glide and easy control on the return. Skate condition looked excellent too. Thought about trying #3 but the lack of any sign of recent grooming or skier activity changed my mind. Lots of skiers out. P10 was almost full at 10am and packed by noon, while P8 and P9 looked full too.
