Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #51, #53, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
For a change today went to Wakefield P17 . Did the small loop trail # 53 then a left at the junction onto # 51 and back around # 53 to the parking lot. I met a snowmobile twice on both trails, compacting the middle of the trail. The classic tracks were still good on both trails, I didnt see one skater on these trails. Both trails did not have any rocks showing.
First pic is just before the bench on # 53, the second is on trail # 51 just before P19 parking lot, the next pic is the first big hill coming back on trail # 53, and the last one is the start of the large open area ( field) that brings you around the loop on # 53. Another great ski day!!!!!
