Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #31, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue extra
Good classic conditions on my route from P7 which was 30,1,CP,FLP and 31 back to the parking lot. Intended to return via Ridge but found the Khyber pass to be too icey and narrow for a safe descent especially with lots of skiers on the that trail. P7 was full at 10:00, had to park in the overflow. I think the days of having Gatineau park all to myself on weekdays is over.

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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
