Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: LF Violet, Grip Wax: Guess: Rode Violet hard wax
Based on P10 being completely full at 10 AM, it's fair to say that people have figured it out: today is a great day to be skiing. My guess is that we received about 7 or 8 cm of snow yesterday, which has been very nicely groomed on Ridge Road and the parkways. Classic tracks were firm, but the sun on the snow and the warming temperatures will make it a bit tricky as the day goes on.
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.
