ya, very sad, I agree ... praps the guys over at xcottawa.ca can help do something about that - a special Keski event link, for example, replete with photos, race stories, etc. Dont know if your familiar with their site - if your not, definitely check it out, best Gat park ski coverage site around. Could be wrong, but I think one of the guys on this board is affilitated with it (Craig??).

There's also http://www.musicianonskis.ca/, maybe the best Gat ski photography site, with pictures of 'ski life' in the park updated almost daily
(the girl doing the site has her priorities good and straight!).

Anyways, Jeff, I think those 2 sites are as good as you'll get to bringing the park to life online. Keski coverage could still use a boost though !

It's voted the best tourist event in Canada. So I'd think there's more
on it somewhere.

I tried to get to a good site that presents the Gatineau park in a good
light, giving lore, photos, etc., and only found the official govt
Gatineau site (linked to from the Keski site) that has basically this
level of info about the park: "There is a park. It's name is Gatineau.
It's very pretty."

I found a couple sites reporting the Keski race from the front with
maybe one pic, and one personal story with a couple pics.

What's going on? The horrors of socialist-style PR?

The CSM does quite a bit better, but not a whole lot---they have photo
pages going back a few years but for some reason only 2 pics out of the
dozen shown for each year will enlarge on my browsers.
