Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: n/a, Grip Wax: universal klister
Effortless skiing and rocket like speeds this morning with universal klister giving superb grip and glide. No fresh tracks anywhere on my route but not a problem today. Lots of loose snow for control on the downhills. My route was FLP / CP to the Lookout / ridge to #2 and back to FLP via ridge. About 20 cars in P10 when I arrived at around 10:00 and completely full at noon when I left.
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.
