Gatineau Park ski conditions 21DEC10

p3, trails 5, parkway to Penguin, along Ridge to Champlain and back along parkway.  Certain parts of the parkway appeared to have fairly recent classic tracks set and were in good shape.  In the heavier traffic areas the skating track was very hard packed and fast.  However on the parkway between Fortune and Gatineau the grooming was good except for the snowmobile track that dug up a portion, still conditions are pretty good overall.  On trail 5 and Ridge the classic track is very well worn bordering on disappearing.
