Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: CH10 and rilling, Grip Wax:

Skated out of P10. Got one of the last parking spots at 10AM, but there were still a few spaces available by noon. Surprisingly icy at first, becoming slushy everywhere towards noon. Great easy skating on the corn snow- level surface- despite the lack of grooming (thanks for nothing, Demsis). No portages yet on FP, but CP ends at Huron. To the east of the T coverage on the CP is very good up to at least Black Lake. Should be good this afternoon and tomorrow morning (don't go super early, you may be surprised at how icy the snow gets overnight). By next weekend the ski portages will probably be longer than the bike portages! Get out and enjoy the last day or two of skiing!
