Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Amazing early morning skating conditions. First out of P10 at 6.30. Partial grooming (still in progress), but where groomed, nice fast corduroy. Classic tracks look good, although not full depth. Ice and snow on the trees made for stunning landscape at sunrise. It will soften and slow down very quickly, but lots of good snow out there!
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.
