Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: Gatineau Pkwy, Glide Wax: Vauhti violet, Grip Wax: Used waxless, probably Vauhti silver would work too.

We took out our rock skis and left the parkways for the first time this season. Rock skis were a must, but it did work out and was lots of fun. We did check out the grooming near P5 and it was rolled for skate and had two classic tracks on each side.
