Pretty good skiing today, not too slow, a little icy on shady areas. Started From P12: #40=> #24=> #1=> #2=> #40=>P12. Like Ron mentioned only one area for a short walk near the bench on Ridge past Western, other then that, #40, #24, #2 still good coverage, just a few thin spots in the usual areas.
I met a few skiers that had gone to the Fire Tower and said they had only walked up at the hill at the bench at wolf trail, besides that everything was good. The next couple of days should be still good lots of sun and no rain.
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.
