Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: North Loop, #1 (black - Chelsea), Glide Wax: NA, Grip Wax: NA

Thought it might be worth reporting on my ski this morning. It got cold enough overnight that it froze and it wasn't groomed so it was very hard and icy - basically not worth a trip from town at that point. I expect, however, that it should be getting soft enough now to be ok until it starts to freeze again this afternoon. On the bright side, we still have lots of snow and I think we can expect great skiing this weekend wherever it gets groomed.
