Gatineau Park

Trails Skied: #51, #53, Glide Wax: blue, Grip Wax: Vaughti green fluor

Another beautiful ski. Great coverage, beautiful packed powder, and we used our good skis without problems. It's surprising to have these graceful trails groomed early in the grooming season. The classic tracks were admittedly variable, ranging from shallow machine-tracked to skier-created to none at all, but despite this the entire outing felt like a high season ski. Oddly, we met few skiers but several hikers and snow shoers
