Hi,

I am thinking of going for some XC skiing
(...) a week before Christmas

The trails are not open yet, but they do have a one foot base already:

They will have trails at Mercier this weekend. Perhaps only 10 km or
so because there is still some running water in lower sections. I had
reserved a cabin and they called me at work this morning to apprise me
of the situation. Foret Montmorency is close by and they have tracks
because there was a race there last week and a Noram race coming up -
they have a snow gun, as the Sepaq gentleman explained to me this
morning. Gatineau Park is open for business so I plan my inaugural ski
tonight.
