Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Swix Purple CH 7, Grip Wax:

From P5 to the ice-fall, then up the first hill to Pink Lake and back to the base of Penguin and P5.
A much shorter skate ski than planned! Conditions are gloriously beautiful but also extremely slow compared to the faster conditions of the last two weeks. Grooming was excellent for both skating and classic. There were happy skiers everywhere, smiling despite staying distanced. Winter has come!
