Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , #7, Glide Wax: Swix CH 10, Grip Wax: Rode red klister

Wow, I was surprised at the great conditions late this morning! P6 was almost full when I got there (around 10:30am) and it wasn't quite as warm as I expected. The klister worked really well in the more shady frozen granular snow, but not quite as good in the sun-exposed soft wet granular snow, particularly south facing slopes. Trail #7 had great coverage and is always a blast to go down. Hard to tell if the parkways were groomed but there were many skiers out there today.
