Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #33, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Fresh grooming on Trails 40 and 33, but nothing yet on #2. It was hard pack corduroy but skiable and then, at the top, there was a snow squall that dumped 2 cm of fresh stuff so there was lots of grip. It is getting colder through the day so these conditions should last well.
Gatineau Park is ski paradise! The network of ski trails offer machine groomed skate skiing and classic skiing as well as little groomed backcountry trails. Multiple access points allow skiers to access a variety of terrain and scenery.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
