Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1 Penguin Climb, #1, Gatineau Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti blue, Grip Wax:

Excellent ski conditions this morning. No new grooming, but a few cm of fresh snow made for great skate conditions, and classic skiers reported the same for the classic tracks. Good coverage everywhere I skied. Penguin climb scraped out like a bowl from all the snowplowing, and some icy patches, but coverage was still good, and no visible rocks there or on Ridge Road to Keogan.
