Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #36 (blue), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: skins
#36 was machine groomed, double trackset for the first kilometer or so after P11. Unfortunately there were enough hikers to really put a dent into the tracks up to the turn-off to the Wilson Carbide trail. After that the trail has been manually trackset to the intersection with #50. The tips of some rocks still poke out so best to use your rock skies still. #36 is getting there, but we still need more snow for full coverage.
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.
