Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue extra

good classic conditions on the FLP to the CP and Lookout this morning. Fresh grooming for classic was underway from the lookout towards the FLP with a single track on the south bound side and dual tracks on the north side. Still no grooming on either ends of ridge presumably until we get more snow. Blue extra wax was not giving much grip at lower elevations but improved considerably higher up. P10 was packed to capacity upon my return at noon with cars parked up the middle. Lots of skiers taking advantage of these fabulous early season conditions!
