Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy , Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: vauhti blue, Grip Wax: vauhti carrot

We did some classic skiing tonight. We stuck to the parkways and they were good. I'm sure Ridge Road is also good. No new snow today and no real change in the conditions in the past few days.

XC Ottawa is off to the races this weekend (Mont Ste. Anne, Duntroon and Whitehorse) so check skiTrails.xcottawa.ca to find trail reports by other Ottawa area skiers.

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.
