Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax:
The snow that fell on Monday was beautifully groomed through most of the trails of the northern sector (though not on trail 36). There is fresh new snow mixed with cold fine granular ice which made for a fast, stable skate. There were skaters and classic skiers a-plenty and everyone seemed to agree that trail and weather conditions were excellent. What a gift for the Ontario March Break!

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.
