Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: #50, Glide Wax: blue, Grip Wax: VR 30
Trail 50 from P16 until around the intersection to trail 52. Conditions were superb, especially for classic skiing. With the cold temperatures (minus 16 at solar noon) the snow was slow, and the skate skiers in particular seemed to be getting a thorough workout! It was a joy to be out and to enjoy the fine classic grooming. Blue sky and the firs were laden with snow today, so it was a feast for the eyes from start to finish.
