Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #2 (blue), #2 (from #40 to #1), #24, #33, #40, #1 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR40

One word - WOW. 8:30 start from P12, 4th car in the lot. Classic ski up #40, #2 (see pic), #33 over to #40, #24, along Ridge to the Fire Tower and back.

Pristine conditions, grooming, weather - life is so very good.

When I got back to P12 at 11am, the parking lot was a gong show. There are benefits to getting up early.

Enjoy!
