Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue extra
My route from P5 this morning to P8 and back up the GP to the ice falls on the CP. Snow coming down during most of my ski up until about noon. Where the tracks were skied in and compacted the going was good until my skis started clumping up and icing. Not a show stopper but had to double pole hard on the down hills to get any downward movement. Saw 3 deer, one on the CP near the falls and 2 feeding near trail 15 on the GP.
