Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #2 (from #40 to #1), #40, #21, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

A late afternoon ski which is unusual for me. Conditions at the top of 40 were still good despite a fair bit of earlier skier traffic. Descent was marred by a couple of obtuse walkers in the middle of the trail on a corner during a steep stretch. As they say "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity".

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.
