Too lazy to use klister, I was skating on crushed ice last weekend.

I was really surprised to learn from the official gatineau park site just
now (March 17th) that the wax of the day is blue extra. Can anyway confirm
that? I would love to stride using hard wax this weekend

Just back from the Gatineau, Classic from Asticou to Pink's Lake
using no-wax skis with glide wax on front & back, and Toko fleuro liquid
on the fish scales. Worked perfectly.
Conditions good or better except one or two small spots, small amount of
fresh snow. Skating looked very good. Very few skiers out.
Weather was perfect.

Beware of one or two pieces of gravel on the path back to the parking lot
that are difficult to avoid. Also the best track is the outside one going
towards
Pinks Lake.
