Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra v40

Perfect conditions for classic skiing and also for skate skiing by the look of it. Air temp was -9C when we left a full P10 and -7C on return. Classic tracks were solid and nice and fast, but not icy. Credit to the grooming team for sure! The air was brisk and it looked like a Santa convention as we climbed FLP, with all those returning male skiers with beards having them clad in very heavy frost.

Great to have such a fantastic day after all the rotten weather!
