Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #51, #53, Glide Wax: Swix Blue, Grip Wax: VR40

Without a doubt this was my favorite classic ski so far this year. All the stars aligned! I was well rested from taking yesterday off, my wax was charmed, I used my good skis, the grooming was stellar (especially on 53 and crowds were not an issue. Garry even went classic (!!!!) gave it a 10/10 rating. It's worth noting that although one can use good skis, the coverage is still a bit thin for this time of year. Anyway, a lovely morning!
