Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #3, #4, #14, Glide Wax: Red, Grip Wax:
Burma was also excellent. It wasn't super fast. But fast enough to be fun.
I poked at the snow off trail here and there along my #14, #1,#3 & #4 route. There was about an inch of snow on top of a very thin layer of ice. Then deep powder snow below that. Seems to me the melt and rain earlier this week hasn't ruined the fun of going off groomed trails. Hope the forecast of rain tonight will not materialize up in the Gatineau Hills.
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.
