Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Universal klister
After 7 months of waiting we're skiing again! :)
Decent coverage for rock classic skiing. The ground was still warm, so the snow was melting underneath a crusty on top. The uphill skiing was better than coming back down. The snow was being compressed and scraped off the road, so classic was the best option this morning. Once this freezes it will be a good base for skating if we get more snow.
P10 coverage was crusty on top, wet underneath.
Better coverage at Fortune Lake
Glide was decent! :)
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.
