Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #1, #30, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

The website reports this afternoon:For your safety, it is preferable to ski on trails that have been groomed in the last 24 hours. Well sorry NOTHING has been groomed since sunday. What could of been a great day for skiing, nice temperature,sun, guess what DEMSIS dropped the ball yet again.

The conditions varied from slushy, icy, powder and crusty, with many bumps along the way. I often wonder what do these guys do all day sit in a cosy office. The only sign was a few skidoo tracks going to Keogan and Shilly Shally .They have no excuse for not grooming overnight with the cold temperatures on the way.
