Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue extra

Good classic tracking from yesterday with a fresh layer of light snow on the North Loop this morning. Tried a couple runs with my new waxless (hairies) skis. Not too bad a grip, but certainly not as good as a waxable ski with the right wax, but was expecting that. Tons of people out, P8 was full, had to park at P9.
