Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, #30, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue with polar as a binder
Fresh classic grooming on ridge this morning but only north towards the Shilly Shally shelter. South bound tracks were leftovers from the weekend with skied in snow from overnight. So quick skiing north bound and slower south bound. Still need a binder wax due to coarse snow and the descents out of the tracks are tricky with hardened corduroy in the skate lanes.
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.
