Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #7, #15 (blue), Glide Wax: Vauhti Cold, Grip Wax: Vauhti Orange, covered with a thin layer of Vauhti Green
Perfect conditions for either classic or skate this morning on the parkways near P5 as well as the lower part of 15. Fresh grooming, firm, fast, and easy waxing. I also skied the upper part of 15 and all of the 7. Those haven't been groomed recently but the old fashioned skied in tracks are working just fine. It is a little cold on the face, but otherwise not as cold feeling as you might think if you dress well.
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.
