Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #6, #30, #22, #34, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Started out from P7, up #30=>#1=>#6=>#34=>#22=>#34=>#6=>#1=>#30. Windy day out there some debris on the trails.Be WARNED if going on trail #6 skyline, the last two grooming passes are unusual with a classic track down the middle of the trail ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STEEP HILLS, which makes it skiable but awkward going down for snowplowing.

I called Demsis twice last week and again this week but nothing has been done.As per example you do not see a classic track down the steep hill on trail # 2 so why is there one on #6?. As you can see on the first pic, that is the first descent going counterclockwise and you see the tracks all the way down, the second pic also has them the second downhill with a curve on it.

I would prefer that trail be left in its natural state NO GROOMING if they are going do groom it like that.
