There's skiing in Montmorency! Kyle, Anna, Lee, Matthias and myself are currently skiing on a one kilometer loop of man-made snow that is good for classic and skate. 10cm of fresh snow means it's possible to trek around on some of the other trails on rock skis for a change of pace. It's a crisp -5, and there's more snow on the way. If you feel the itch to get those boards on, it's only a 5 hour drive away.
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
