Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Fortune Pkwy, North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: mix of Rode Multigrade and Start Wide Universal Klister

Skied a loop from P8. By the time we finished close to noon it was getting very soft and slow. Tremendous variability between the sunny and shady parts. Lots of debris in the tracks in spots even on the parkway and the side trails are very dirty. Still some remnants of a classic track in most spots.

It was nice to get out but Saturday will be much better once they groom and it freezes up.
