Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #15 (black), Glide Wax: Rode R20, Grip Wax: Rode Super Blue, Rode Special Green

Got out just enough to offer a preview of the weekend ski conditions. We got enough fresh snow recently that durability won't be a problem - the snow is fresh and windblown. On the other hand, it is going to be pretty slow going wherever you ski. Classic will be more fun that skating. Gatineau Parkway was freshly groomed and in very good shape. The 15 had fresh snow and some leaves on top, but overall still pretty reasonable skiing.
