Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, #55 (green - shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Just a sunny morning in tracks from P19 to Taylor. The tracks were hard but still had some bite. There were the odd patches of gravel or conifer needles to avoid. Actually, coming back across Taylor Lake had the best conditions of the day.
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.
