Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: , Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax: Not sure, but I bet that Vauhti Fluor Orange would work fairly well.

About 2cms of fresh snow on top of a firm and somewhat icy base made for very nice skating today on the Gatineau Parkway. Classic looked to be nice as well, but bear in mind that there is snow in the tracks so you might need to use a bit more wax or something a bit warmer than you might normally think relative to the temperature.
