Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #1 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Started around 9am from P10, classic today, climbed FP to CP - all freshly groomed, in fact we passed three groomers. From Champlain to past P13 turn-off no new grooming. Conditions were manageable, other folks had reset the classic tracks, but fresh grooming would let me rate this a '5 snowflake' ski.
Hoping to find super fresh grooming tomorrow morning.
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.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
