Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti Purple, Grip Wax: ???
This report is from Friday night, in case you are contemplating a ski this morning. Some flurries yesterday did improve things a bit. Classic skiing on the grass is quite good. There are places near the Fortune/T junction where skating is o.k., if you can stay light on your edges!
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.
For suggestions on where to ski, excellent trail descriptions, photos and maps checkout Michael McGoldrick`s website about recreational xc-skiing in Canada`s National Capital Region (with an emphasis on the Gatineau Park).
