Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #2 (blue), #1 (green) (#2 - #24), #2 (from #40 to #1), #24, #40, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Nice day after all, bit of sun, warm temperatures. Skied up from P12: #40=> #24=> #1=> #2=> Western chalet=> #2=> #40=> P12. Still good coverage in this area, about a foot of snow on the bridges on #40 still. Only 2 bare spots on my run, see pictures.

Should be good for another week, before the rock skis and some walking starts. Looks like a nice weekend coming up, probably a good idea to head out early morning for faster conditions before it gets real slushy. Although P12 is not recommended there are no problems except for the hill from the parking lot is somewhat icy, but if you go down on either side its ok.
