Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #6, #19, #22, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR40

Skyline #6 and #22 were the main objectives today and were very well covered so there was no possibility of scratching a ski. They had both seen quite a bit of use since the last snowfall which made them fairly hard packed and fast, though not icy. The downhills were a bit tricky as there was limited room to snowplough. We saw no-one else on them. The #19 being not so steep was a blast coming back down. The run from the top down to P5 was in perfect shape for a fast but controllable descent.
