Gatineau Park

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

Few words necessary! Superb skating conditions this morning! Classic was good also, for those with the know-how or waxless skis.

I skated directly to the lookout using the parkways, while Garry took Ridge out to the valley lookout bench. In his words, " Generally excellent grooming. The usual icy patches, easily avoided, near Burma. No exposed rocks."

Wonderful start to the day! More photos on musicianonskis.ca/blog
