Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti Violet, Grip Wax:

Skated all the parkways today except for the section near the Champlain Lookout. Seems to be great coverage everywhere although the first 1 km from P3 is getting thin. They are grooming the parkways into fabulous skating conditions with what felt like fast sugary snow. The conditions were holding up good to at least past noon with the bit of cloud cover. Classic tracks are formed everywhere but they are icier in general.
