Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: Rode R20, Grip Wax: Rode Super Blue

The trails were in perfect shape this morning for classic and skate. It was firm and fast - just icy enough to be quick but not too hard to feel stable or difficult for grip waxing. As we left it started snowing, which didn't kill the speed too much but will obviously slow things down as it piles up. The grey skies might make it a bit difficult to get out the door and there is some wind, but dress warmly and you'll be pleased you went I think.
