Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: North Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR40

An early evening ski on the Doldrums. Hardly worth a report really. It was a really beautiful ski, but not because of the grooming: tired worn out, inconsistent, classic tracks that absolutely should have been redone after the weekend crowds.

Interestingly my son skied today, a rare event for him now, but all through high school he was on the Nakkertok team and skied constantly in the park. When he finished skiing today his first comment was "What have they done to the classic trails? They never used to look like this. I couldn\'t even stay in the track on the downhill".
