Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, #1, #1B, #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #24, Glide Wax: Vauhti Blue, Grip Wax:

Excellent conditions this morning from p10 (I was surprised how good it was - don't let the lack of snow in the city fool you!). Fresh grooming too! Conditions for skate skiing were good from the parking lot, but got even better as we climbed. Groomers seemed to be working a lot on Ridge Road. Ridge, 1 A&B and 24 were all in perfect shape. The strong sun started to slow things a bit on way back at about noon, but it was still great skiing. Classic tracks looked pretty good too. There is lots of snow (and hopefully skiing) left!
