Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR50
Coverage is good but extremely thin. Rock skis are essential as there is occasional gravel and pavement showing through. I looked at #3 but it needs a lot more snow. Good to test out the legs, boots etc early in the season.
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.
