The Gatineau Park offers the best cross-country skiing in North America for skate or classic skiing.
When you throw on your classic skis, there is nothing like the kick and glide on soft, fresh snow on a lightly groomed secondary trail or a skier-set backcountry trail.
Infact, for many, the BEST trails are those trails that a machine has not touched and where you glide through the woods or swamps lost in another world in tracks perfectly set by the skier before you .. or better yet, finding yourself to be the first to break snow after a fresh dump.
Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder to find this experience in the Park.
