Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, #1, #32, Glide Wax: Kuu yellow, Grip Wax:
Parked at P8 about 3:15. Lot almost full. Skated up the parkway to Ridge, up the hills and across to FLP, down the 32, crossed the road then P9 loop to P8. Conditions good. A bit soft at the start and then again just out of P9. Trail 1 was quite good, 1-2 icy/dirty spots of about 50 meters.
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.
