Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, #36 (black), #36 (blue), Glide Wax: Rode Blue, Grip Wax: Rode Black base binder mixed with Rode Super Blue, then Rode Super Blue.
The 36 and 50 out to about Herridge were in generally excellent shape this morning with fast and firm tracks. For the most part it is not icy except on some of the big downhills and along parts of the 36 that are right next to the lake. There are a few thin spots and small bare patches right along the lake as well, so keep your eyes out for those.
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.
