Some great skiing available in sunny, crisp conditions on Ridge Road today. It's excellent for either classic or skating, but the skating is pretty hard work as the snow is not fast. It's a day for classic if you ask me. I also skied around the Camp Fortune Racing course, which is also in good shape and has classic tracks. There are some thin spots and some soft spots but speaking from experience, it is more than adequate to tire somebody out. Truth be told, if there is harder 5k race course out there I would be surprised.
The Gatineau Loppet has a rich history of bringing some of the very best loppet racers from Canada and the world to Gatineau. This is a tradition that the Gatineau Loppet is working hard to preserve!
