Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #26, #29 (alternative), #29 (shared), Glide Wax: Swix CH8 (Red), Grip Wax: N/A
Lots of fresh snow today! There had obviously been some grooming done sometime later in the day. There were pretty well defined tracks, but they were a bit soft. Skating was surprisingly good. The surface was a bit soft, but not too bad at all. Watch out for the puddles of slush underneath the new snow on 29!
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.
