Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: , Glide Wax: Vauhti Speed Violet, Grip Wax:

That little bit of snow we got this morning has whitened everything up nicely. Although nothing is groomed right now, it is definitely ski-able. We skated on the parkways and it was pretty well skied in, not icy, but also not a slog.
I'm not sure what the non-parkway trails are like but I assume if they were good before, they should still be fine now.
As for classic, there were some skied in tracks out there too. Waxing would be tricky though. I bet waxless skis would work pretty well.
