Skid from the Relais this am Appears to have been groomed yesterday. Trails from the Relais to the parkway was groomed; trail #5 piste cyclable was also groomed. Vauhti liquid green glide worked fine - hard and fast.
Going to the Relais allows you to change your boots in comfort, use the facilities and enjoy coffee, hot chocolate and assorted munchies afterward. Lunch smells good too.
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.
