Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: Blue, Grip Wax: Blue

It was perfect conditions for skating today! Mild weather and a bit of fresh snow over this week's grooming. Fortune seemed to have a renovated skate track although the NCC report didn't seem to mention it. Ridge was getting pretty skied-out up to Huron, as was trail 24, but Ridge beyond Western was beautiful for skating, with some fresh snow down. Classic tracks were okay on one side of the trail.
