Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, #51, #55 (green - shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra

Another beautiful day, despite the cold wind, which required the face to be partially covered in order to be comfortable. Tracks (both classic and the corduroy) were in very nice shape and the grip wax worked well except for a bit of slip on trail 51. There was some, but not much, leaf debris on the trails as well as a couple of hazards on trail 51 (see pic).
