Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, Glide Wax: Swix CH Blue, Grip Wax: Swix VR40

P10 - Etienne Brule - Ridge to Wolf Trail.
One of the most wintry and gorgeous days this season. The parkways were groomed to perfection. I had intended to ski on Ridge the entire way out but the parkway grooming was more appealing than Ridge. Ridge was ungroomed after yesterday's heavy traffic. From Etienne Brule it was only one lane, but classic traffic was light so sharing wasn't an issue. There were many many skate skiers today, and they were all respecting the classic tracks.
