Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #36 (blue), Glide Wax: LF 5 turquoise, Grip Wax: SwixV20 green
We started our ski in lightly falling snow, which picked up steadily throughout the morning, filling in the tracks that had been groomed overnight or early this morning - but the snow was so pillowy and powdery that it made for delightful skiing, especially since no one was in a hurry. Lots of groups were out this morning - crossed paths with a big group of Chelsea Nordiq kids heading back to P11 as we were heading out, and everyone we saw today looked thrilled to be out in all the lovely new snow.
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.
