Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
Went classic from P10 to Etienne Brule - great conditions & spectacular scenery
The real news however is that P10 just got a lot smaller. In response to the recent accident there NCC Conservation has declared that parking at P10 will only be allowed at the sides - the mid-lot parade will no longer be allowed. This means that for anything more than very low-traffic days P10 will no longer be a viable starting point
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.
