Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

It was -2 when I got to P19 at 8:00 am and there were about a dozen cars in the lot. Skied classic on the 50 to Lac Mousseau and back. Fresh grooming for both classic and skate, although the return classic lane from 55 to the parking lot did not seem to be set recently. Conditions a little icy in some spots but overall pretty decent. Some debris is spots, especially at the top of the first hill and between Lac Phillipe and Lac Mousseau. There is a stream running across the trail at the cabins just past 55 to watch out for - you might be able ski over it but I decided to take my skis off and jump it. Nice way to end the season though.
