Gatineu was sweet





Near mid winter conditions on about 3-5inches of hard packed snow at Gatineu in Ottawa/Hull today. The trails were in fantastic shape with a quality double track set which along with single digit temps made for some great classic skiing. After about 2.5 hours with some no pole skiing about halfway through we hit the Tim Hortons and headed home. Tomorrow we are skiing at Higley our home training site, not enough to set track yet but the report is that we have decent coverage on the main trails so after a good night freeze up should be fine for skate skiing. Hoping that the Sunday night storm is a good one, trying not to get my hopes up, just glad we have some skiing nearby.
