Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Great Ski Today the conditions were good for this time of year. I decided to stick to the parkway. There was a mixture of snow slush and a bit of a icy base. The pavement is peaking through a few places but nothing you can ski by and avoid. I also went and checked out the race course for the Sprint races happening tomorrow. There was a good base and the course looks like it will be a blast (see the article below)! My only wax suggestion is if you have a structure tool be sure to use it!

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.
