Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #3, Glide Wax: LF10, and rilled, Grip Wax:
A rare day! The skating was so much better than anticipated. Ridge and the parkways had been groomed earlier in the day and were not too slow considering the warm temperatures. When the groomer passed again on Ridge Road around 1:30 the skating became really fun! I did not want to go home, ever!
I skied only a portion of Burma, as it was very soft and messy from some sort of snowmobile spree. There was no moose, but it was brilliantly beautiful in the warm sun.

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.
