Gatineau Park

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

Another Bravo for Demsis good job!!! Skied out from P7, Ridge from Wattsford lookout to Shilly Shally great classic tracks almost like mid winter. Also groomed were #4, #14. also there is some backcountry tracks from yesterday on trail #8 & #11, I guess a few skiers tried those out.

The only problem from P7 is trail #30 has not been groomed, I figure because part of it got water on it last week and they put a barricade part way so the groomer would not be able to pass on that part. It is skiable but a little bumpy to say the least.

The next week looks like great skiing sunny skies and the temperatures around the freezing mark. I can easily see 10 + days of good skiing, then we take out the rock skies which could bring us to mid April, that would be fantastic.
