Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: , Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: Vauhti Violet Klister (covered if it is snowing)
Skiing was nice today. As for grooming, the parkways have been groomed for skating and in some areas there are new classic tracks (P10-Champlain pkwy, P8-P9 and P5-P8). In other places the old tracks are skied in and in some places there is no track. Ridge road is skiable but not groomed. There are still lots of branches and debris on the smaller trails but the parkway is mostly cleared up.
