We've got blow your hair back, ball bearing style conditions right now. Friday evening it was both soft and fast for either skate or classic in the Fortune area of the park. The weekend should be excellent. If you get up early, it will be fast. If you get up late, it will be sunny and warm - you can't lose.
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.
