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!
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.
