Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: skins

Skied between P5 to Pink Lake and back at 10:00 to 11:30. Fresh grooming with a mix of thin, icey tracks and mid depth, hard/icey tracks. Started out with silver klister and no grip and then got my skins which were ok but not enough loose snow for grip. Probably would've been better to wait until the snow softened up a bit. The north bound tracks over the Notch Road bridge were 100% grey ice. Another scorcher tomorrow, then 3 days of rain. Last week for skiing?
