Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, #1, #30, #4, #14, #31, Glide Wax: Swix LF7, Grip Wax:

Fabulous ski today. Perfect grooming on Ridge and the parkways.
I started from P7, up #30, Ridge to #4 and #14, back on Ridge to Huron cabin and Huron Lookout, CP to T-junction and gossip corner, and back via Ridge and #31 and #30.
As Paul's said, Ridge, #4, #14 and the parkways were very well groomed. #30 and #31 were so and so going uphill and exciting going down (to say the least). Classic tracks looked really good on Ridge and the parkways.
Demsis has done an excellent job of "fixing" CP around Huron Lookout (and I guess Champlain Lookout too).
It's shaping up to be a great weekend of skiing. Enjoy. :)
