Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
With no real skiing to be had, the team has left town for Thunder Bay. By coincidence there are huge races, trials for World Championships, taking place there this week. Look for trail reports at skitrails.xcottawa.ca once the snow starts falling again. If you have found a good patch of skiable snow, please share your report!
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
