Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #1 (blue), Glide Wax: Blue, Grip Wax: Skins
Gary summed up the route very well. Only give 4 snowflakes because the classic tracks were quite shallow in parts, especially on Fortune Parkway. Conditions were fast but not scary fast even on the FP descent, no problem staying in the tracks. Double poling was a breeze today and got you moving nice and quick. The descent on Khyber Pass was very good, not a problem maintaining control, Hopefully a few more snowflakes on the way.
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.
