Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #6, #4, #19, #22, #34, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: BC Crown skis

Trails 4,34,19,6,22. A glorious morning on the ungroomed trails behind Camp Fortune. How beautiful it was! I adore a perfectly groomed trail possibly more than the next person, but given conditions like we have now I might not miss groomed trails. They are definitely two different sports! It was a peaceful morning with gentle twists through the forest, a few fun downhills and many hemlock groves. We saw 4 other people briefly while we were out and had a lovely straight run down trail 4 at the end. A perfect ski outing!
