Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #6, #30, #22, #34, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Crown skis
Backcountry bliss! Trails were well-broken by the time we arrived and we saw a few other parties on the way. The conditions made for forgiving descents and easy cruising. Unfortunately, there was freezing rain on the drive back to Ottawa.
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.
