Fresh snow and nice temperatures prior to the freezing rain. Mary and I did the 40-33-21-2 loop and it was all good. Lots of skier traffic by the time we finished and an almost full P12, which is unusual.
Ran into Dave in the parking lot who was setting off for an expedition. I think he skis as much in one day as I do in a week.
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.
