Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1 (black - Chelsea), #1 (green) (#2 - #24), Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax:
It doesn't get much better than this - spectacular ski conditions today - and nice warm sun. The skate track was very good, fast - but not icy, and not slowing down with the hot sun (even at 1:00). Classic tracks looked good too. There is still a lot of snow in the park. If the grooming is timed right, this should be a great week of skiing.
Gatineau Park is ski paradise! The network of ski trails offer machine groomed skate skiing and classic skiing as well as little groomed backcountry trails. Multiple access points allow skiers to access a variety of terrain and scenery.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
