Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Blue Extra

Beautiful conditions this morning. Cold, dry snow and almost complete coverage. Some thin areas and poles hitting pavement but not as much as earlier in the week (between P5 and MICA a track has been groomed on the North shoulder, which allows you to ski with better poling). I am impressed with the grooming this early on. Classic tracks are almost full depth and skate track looks pretty good, although uneven depending on section.

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.
