Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, #55 (green - shared), Glide Wax: Red V50, Grip Wax:

I started at P20 and took 50 to 55, and then skied the 56 back-country trail. Although ungroomed, the trail has been set by other skiers. There was a lot of oak leaf debris, and twigs from recent wind storms. The snow had softened which gave good control for some of the downhill sections. There wasn't a single skier on the 56 trail, which was nice for solitude.
