Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Glide Wax: Rode GLF Orange, Grip Wax: I skated, but I woud try Rode Violet to start
When I woke up this morning I wondered what kind of snow we'd have....slow, wet and heavy, or light and fluffy? The answer is light and fluffy. Thanks to overnight grooming on Ridge Road and the Parkways it is reasonably firm, but new snow (the light and fluffy kind) is accumulating all the time. You'll have a great day of skiing today no matter what variety you opt for or where you go.
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.
