Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1 (black - Chelsea), Glide Wax: Star NF Cold Liquid, Grip Wax: Guess: Vauhti Orange, covered with touch of bulue
Parkways are pretty much as perfect as they get - and nice crisp day too. I also skied the bottom section of Ridge Road from Old Chelsea. It has been packed from near the old visitor Centre but there are no classic tracks yet. Still some foot traffic on what is supposed to be the ski trail but certainly passable skiing.
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).
