Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Toko Red

Arrived at 11:00 and there were only three cars in the parking lot. Conditions were superb. Obviously there was an abundance of snow but the best surprise was the grooming. I was fortunate to be the first one down a freshly groomed number 5. The crunchy ice tracks are now transformed to soft deep snow. Obviously people are digging their way out after all the snow but the good news in the Gatineau Park trails are magnificent.
