Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, MacKenzie-King Rd , Glide Wax: purple, Grip Wax:

Skied from Mackenzie King to the lookouts. Had continuous track of snow but a number of spots are getting pretty thin. Today's grooming started(ended?) at Bourgeois Lake and presumably went down to P10 but I didn't venture down that way. Conditions were actually better where there was no grooming (as long as there was snow;-). Won't be long before the pockets of asphalt become larger and larger portages and then we have to weigh the decision as to how much walking is worthwhile for another stretch of skiing...
