Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, #5 (green), #27, #29 (alternative), Glide Wax: Vauhti glide -2 to -20, Grip Wax: blue extra

Still good classic conditions on 5,27 and the short run on 29 from 27 to Cite des Jeunes. No fresh grooming but good medium depth tracks. The only section that needs a redo is 5 from 27 back to Cite des Jeunes. Track is meandering with no shape. Snow texture is perfect for speed; skiing was effortless and very fast. I thought the Relais Centre at P2 would be closed due to Covid but they're open and so are the washrooms, masks must be worn of course.
