Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Purple, Grip Wax:

Skied from P5 on GP to CP, then CP to Champlain lookout, returned on same route. NCC web site claimed CP had been groomed, but in fact only a center band had been groomed for skating (see photo). It appeared no work had been done on the classic tracks. Skiing was still very good on a thin layer of fresh powder over a fairly hard base. It's likely similar conditions will hold tomorrow morning.
