Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: Rode GLF orange, Grip Wax: Rode KRM klister or Rode Univeral Multigrade Klister
We skied classic from P7 along Ridge Road and a bit of the Fortune and Champlain parkways this morning. Nothing we skied had been groomed overnight and there is a very thin layer of ice on top - making somewhat tricky skiing and waxing. Keep your eyes on the NCC grooming report. It's ok for skiing as is, but it will be much better when it gets groomed.
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
