Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Vauhti Green

Beautiful new snow, but very slow classic conditions on the Champlain Parkway. I assumed at the time that there was no new grooming, but realize now that the grooming must have preceded the snow. Similar to oak leaves the dry snow gravitated to the classic tracks. They were completely filled. Once skied in, the tracks and the speed did improve quite a bit.
