Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1, #30, #4, #14, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Skied from P7 up to Keogan lodge and back, what a difference a day makes on Ridge which had REAL classic tracks for a change and the tracks were more to the outside of the trail and were nice and firm.

Went down trail # 4 which also had been groomed but was a bit bumpy, likewise trail # 14, also noticed work had been done on the practice course.

A few of the steeper hills on Ridge were icy as previously reported, I managed to make it down Penguin by avoiding the small rocks in the middle and going down the right hand side very slowly.As Ron mentioned in his report I saw fair amount of traffic had gone on trails # 6, 17, 8, 11, although I cant see myself go on those trails until we get another good snowfall.
