Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: universal klister

Good fresh machine groomed tracking on the FLP and CP to the lookout. Ridge from the lookout to trail #2 was mostly skied in tracks but decent. Ridge back to the FLP was fair to good with icey and dirty sections here and there. My descent on the hardened Khyber Pass was a bit too fast for my taste with a lot of snow scraped off by snowplowing skiers. Lots of skiers out, P10 was jammed, had to park down the middle of the lot. Universal klister gave excellent grip.
