Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #1B, #2 (from #40 to #1), #3, #24, #40, #21, Glide Wax: Vauhti Yellow, Grip Wax: universal klister
Beautiful spring conditions (too soon!) out there. Groomed trails are in great shape with solid classic tracks and a good base for skating. Found a few downed trees across trail 21 but they were in flatter areas so no trouble getting around them. A few streams are openning up so keep an eye out for water hazards.
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.
