Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: CH8, Grip Wax: Vauhti Carrot

Skied the Gloppet 5 km classic route with my daughter. The new snow has improved conditions a fair bit. Still some slushy/icy patches on 29, but they're obvious and easy to get around.

Parkway didn't look like it had been groomed, but the tracks were well skied in, so no problems.

It's odd to be skiing in warm weather at this time of year!
