Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1B, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Surprisingly good all around, and as soon as we followed the groomer? Great conditions. Even up by Champlain lookout, no obvious tarmac, just lots of ruts from past skiers. Happy to get it in before the weekend forecast. IF you can ski first thing tomorrow? Go for it.
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.
