Excellent and fast. The hard base from last week is all in tact and the sprint course set up nicely. Actually the ungroomed parts were faster as there was more water in the snow. Only a paper thin crust from freezing rain,

New grooming on most trails. 5 cm of interesting snow quite fluffy but clumpy when compressed. Had to cover to prevent icing out of track.
Truly beautiful ....

Grooming was underway not sure if there will be a classic track tonight. Very abrasive and very fast. Think about blue klister base to keep classic wax on.

We did a short and informal skiathlon t.t. at Nakkertok South today. Great to get on some racing trails!. Things are looking quite good at Nakkertok. Some more snow is required to fill in the normal bumps etc, and there are some dirty patches here and there, but most of the normal trails at the South are basically good for classic or skate. Enjoy!

Went (skate) skiing for the first time here and set first tracks, even before they opened the gates. Skied a bit of everything and nothing at the same time exploring this great facility.
Broke trail on what has been groomed (just not lately) and really enjoyed it. Lots of little bits of brush and branches popping up, but no rocks.
All in all, a great ski and so, so very different terrain than Gatineau Parc. Lots of fun and beautiful to boot.
