Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: waxless, Grip Wax:

More of an interesting outdoor outing than a great ski. There were several skiers out though, both skaters and classic. I poked along taking photos for quite a while, until the rain began. By that point the ice was turning slushy, yellow lines were showing, and bits of dirt and grass were starting to poke through. Let\'s hope the temperatures don\'t go wildly warm today, and that we have a bit of snow this evening to stick to this glop when the temperatures dip back down.

Be careful if you are driving. The visibility is poor.
