Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Swix Blue, Grip Wax: Vauhti Green Fluor

Another joint report: Garry skated, I went classic.
Another "best" ski. I just love the cool temperatures and brilliant sun. You can already feel the increased intensity of the sun.
No new grooming, but everything had held up well from yesterday. Classic tracks were well formed and hard. No double poling was required today to get down the hills. A groomer passed by to renovate the center of the skate lane.
The wind had a bite especially in open spots such as where these photos were taken.
Crowds were not a problem. Great morning!
