Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1B, #3, #24, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Beautiful conditions early this morning. Excellent grooming everywhere (thanks Demsis!!) and nice, fast snow. Only in a couple of spots (notably the big downhill on Burma at FP) the groomer was not able to completely break up the ice from yesterday's softer hours, but it was still in very good conditions. Everywhere else is pristine.
Go out before it rains!
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
