Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: red silver v60

Nice early start and managed to avoid using klister. Air temp 0C at start and 3C on return to P10. Very icy classic tracks until past trail 1, but grip wax was doing the job. Return run extremely fast; snow had not softened yet. Much better, more consistent track conditions for skate skiers, but an enjoyable last classic ski all the same. Probably a couple more days' skiing for keeners, but that's it for me for this season.
