Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, #51, #55 (green - shared), Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Short outing to Lac Philippe #50=>#55 to Taylor lake back same way via short run on #51 that runs of #55. Like Ken mentioned yesterday not too bad considering temperature change from friday. THere was a fresh grooming this morning, decent most of the trails, except a few icy and bumpy sections along the way and some shallow classic tracks part of the route. Made for some tricky descents and fast.
Many snowshoers out today and people heading back from camping last night. We sure could use some new snow to smooth things out again like the superb conditions we had last weekend.
