Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra v40

I can echo David's comments. It was a great day out on the parkways. We left a surprisingly 2/3 full P10 at 11:40. Air temp -4C. Grip and glide were both excellent and we had a nice quick pace all the way up FLP and the Champlain Parkway to Huron Shelter. Classic tracks had been heavily used but were still in great shape. Sun came out half way up which made things even better. Run back down to P10 was also very nice - fast tracks, with a bit of glazing near P10 but easy control.
