Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue extra
Very good classic conditions on the doldrums this morning. Snowmobile double tracking with fresh snow continuing to fall made things a bit slow at first but the hordes of skiers kept the tracks well packed. No grooming for skate. Demsis is problably waiting for the snow to stop. Looks like the season is here for good. Continuing cold and snowy into next week..
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.
