Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1, Camp Fortune Race Course, Glide Wax: Rode GLF Violet, Grip Wax: Rode Multigrade Violet
Skied on Ridge Road between P7 and Keogan, as well as the Camp Fortune Race course. Fun skiing in some fresh but fast snow on top of a firm base. There hadn't been any grooming when we were out, but I did see a groomer a bit later near P10. I will mention that it feels colder than the temperature because of some wind - so bundle up a bit if you are heading out.
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.
