Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: LF Yellow, Grip Wax: Rode Multigrade Universal/Rode Rossa Klister.
I have to admit that I kind of blew it with my predictions yesterday. The new snow made it somewhat slow right from the get go today, and the sun was slow to come out. While it wasn't fast or particularly clean, overnight grooming and ample snow contributed to a great 2 family expedition to Healey cabin for reheated pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. It is supposed to get down to about zero tonight, so it could be nice and fast if you get up early on Sunday.
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.
