- Accessing the Gatineaus for the first time might be intimidating – here are some tips for first time users:
- P3 – rolling hills to the base of Pink Lake is a terrific ski or really challenge yourself and ski up to the top
- P8-P9 – start at parking lot 8 and ski through the woods to parking lot 9 for a beautiful and less intense trail
- These are just the beginning of exploring this incredible region on skis
- Trail condition report
- Going at night? Don’t forget your headlamp.
- Winter Camping – Did you know that you can book a cabin for an overnight winter adventure?
