Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #8, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
I skied up #23 from CPW near King Mountain. It was annoying to follow tracks of two hikers. Thankfully those tracks ended at the intersection of #23/#8/#17. A few rocks were still exposed from there to the swamp next to CPW. They should be covered by the 10cm forecasted on Thursday.
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).
