Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #3, Glide Wax: Rode R20, Grip Wax: Rode Special Green
If you're the kind of person who enjoys the challenge of working and struggling for every inch of glide on your skate skis, then I recommend you try Fortune Parkway and Burma today. At least this morning, it was extremely slow. The parkway was groomed...and slow. Burma was not groomed...and slow.
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.
