Great day for a backcountry ski if you bundled up, but there were not many people out! The trails are very firm and pretty well skied in, so we could use some fresh snow to help slow the descents. Lot of leaves in the tracks in certain places. Parkways looked to be in good shape but Ridge Rd. and Burma could use a grooming. With the fresh snow and warmer temperatures on the weekend, should be great!!
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.
