Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Fresh grooming on Doldrums this morning and remarkably good glide for skating despite warm temperatures. I was using red glider and no rilling- with warm wax and rilling I'm sure the skis would have been even faster. There are many skiers out, and as the snow warms and is churned up conditions may deteriorate, but for now it's very good.
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.
