Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #57, #5 (green), #26, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Everything in the south end has been freshly groomed. Nice firm tracks, skins worked fine and others had no issues with blue hard wax.
De sis has groomed a trail from the Relaiscdirectly west across the field giving quicker access to 26 and then 5 and the parkway via the old sand/gravel pits.
Nice to put boots on in the warmth of the Relais and enjoy the soup , sandwich, goodies selections.
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.
