Gatineau Park: Conditions

Beautiful day in the park, Unfortunately no snow yet. However,
in spite of the past few days of warm weather, most of the ponds
were half covered with ice.

The park was full of people using human powered locomotion: Walking
bikes, Roller blades, roller skis... no cars.

I REALLY miss Gatineau Park, having moved away from Ottawa 4 years
ago. I remember several seasons skiing on the Parkways by my birthday
in mid-November.

Let us know when the skiing starts there! It's well worth the drive.

It is with extreme sadness that I have to report that we are still hiking in
the Gatineau Park.

We are "GREEN" with envy for those folks who have snow.

Last year we skied in late Nov but alas there is hardly anyway that we will
get that opportunity in 2003.

As a vocal Gatineau Jealousist, and given that we too here in Montreal have
no snow, I actually get some Grinchly pleasure knowing The Gats people are
snowless.

Cold comfort.

If it makes you feel any better, we have great snow at Kelowna, BC. I'm not
complaining, but the main problem is that it is falling faster than the
grooming machines can pack it so trails are a little soft. I'm sure this
weather is headed your way.
