Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #22, #34, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Violet Special
The trails are well used but still great to ski on. Where the trails cross or closely parallel streams one must be a little careful (mainly because these places are sunken). Beautiful and sunny, occasional nippy breeze. Passed lots of smiling faces.
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.
