Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: -8 to -15
ROUTE: P3 to the Champlain Parkway T
CLASSIC: The tracks were deep, solid and cleanly cut into the snow. There were lots of leaves in some places which was a hassle. The worst spots were near Asticou and the Penguin parking lots.
SKATE: The track looked great with fewer leaves.
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.
