The grooming today ranged from very good to outstanding all the way from the bottom of Penguin to the Fire Tower. 1B and 24 were also very good. The only problem is Burma. The website had the "thumbs up" for skating but this is a mistake. It was not freshly groomed so the skating lane is too narrow and makes for an unpleasant 5km. The skaters would be doing their classically trained friends a favour staying away until it is widened because the skaters are chewing up the classic track that if left alone would be very good.
In some spots on 1 blue there were hikers out causing some minor destruction to what was otherwise very nice grooming. Also there was a group snowshoeing on Fortune Parkway!
The wind was cold, the sun was warm and the trees were spectacular. Just what Gatineau Park in January should be.
