Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: Swix CH 8, Grip Wax:

Wow! What a great ski day! It's funny because the NCC site didn't indicate new grooming. With the bit of new snow, I expected the skating to be a bit of a slog, but the grooming appeared fresh. The skating was wonderful, and the classic looked so very tempting, too! To Herridge conditions were excellent, just the faintest of ridges to which we have become quite accustomed. Past Herridge, 4 heavy-footed walkers had dented the trail and there was the usual snowmobile rut. Still, with today's mild temperatures it didn't make much difference. Great skiing.
