Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #2 (blue), #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #2 (from #40 to #1), #24, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: Swix Violet Extra
I classic skied from p12 today. Did #40, left on #24, #1 towards Western, #2 (blue and black) and back on #40.
Classic tracks were icy for the most part. I got much better grip on the corduroy and going down #2 had much better control as a result of the grooming.
Beautiful job by Demsis. Some debris here and there but nothing of great concern.
I tried #3 but had to turn around. No grooming done and it was basically icy all the way.
Besides that a beautiful day for skiing. Enjoy.
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.
