Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: LF Yellow, Grip Wax: Rode Universal Multigrade Klister with Rode Rossa Klister

It felt like everyone had a "skiing in shorts and sunshine" induced hangover today. The skiing from P5 was pretty good actually, but I saw almost nobody - felt a bit bizarre. The snow is dirty and starting to get a bit blue. The truth is, however, when it starts to turn that colour it's usually pretty fast - and that was the case today. I was skating but the classic tracks also looked to be in good shape. There is still a lot of snow. I didn't see a single bare patch or hint of pavement today.
