Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), Glide Wax: CH7, Grip Wax:

Skate ski conditions are fabulous today on the GP and trail 5 between Asticou and Pink Lake. There is good fresh grooming and enough ice pellet content in the snow for rocket ski glide, but control is still excellent. I skied from the Relais to Pink Lake and then returned via Asticou and Trail 5. It was a short but very sweet outing. Classic looked good too, skin skis are probably the best bet for classic.
