Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #1B, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), Glide Wax: Rode GLF Violet, Grip Wax: Guess: Rode VO
A blustery day that certainly felt colder than the temperature indicated. Ridge Road, 24, and the parkway network appeared to have been groomed overnight for classic and skate. A little bit of windblown snow came after the grooming, which means you will be primarily skiing on dry powdery snow on top of a firm base.
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.
