Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: universal klister

Good classic conditions on #50 with fresh groomed tracks, mostly mid-depth, clean snow with a few dirty, thin, icey spots. Fast, easy skiing with universal klister providing excellent grip. Just enough loose snow in the skate tracks to provide control on the steeper downhills. Very windy and cold at P16 but once I was in the trees it was calm and comfortable.
