Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #5 (green), #27, Glide Wax: Vauhti glide Wet One -1 to +10, Grip Wax: skins
Superb classic conditions this morning on the 5, 27 and 29. Better than my run on the same trails yesterday, as the sun didn't get a chance to melt the snow, as a result track conditions stayed dry. Very fast and effortless skiing. Grip and glide were flawless with my skins.
