Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #50, #55 (green - shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: VR40

Wow! First time back on skis in a while, and what wonderful conditions!! It seems Demsis has turned over a new leaf. I've got my skis crossed that it will be a continuing trend. Trail 50 was in great shape for both skating and classic, better than I have seen it in three years. Trail 55 (green) to Taylor Lake was as good. The only small area that was less than perfect was the actual intersection of the two trails, where the snow was quite hard and rutted. Way to go, Demsis!
