Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: NA, Grip Wax: harries or waxless

Well, the snow came back! Too bad there was all that rain in between. This time around classic seems to be the better technique. The higher up you go, the more snow. I used waxless skis, it is a bit tricky with both wax and waxless icing up a bit. Still worth getting out there though. It was a beautiful morning with white snowy trees.
