With all the wonderful snow over the last week, conditions couldn't have been better for our Outdoor Ed XC Ski trips to Gatineau Park. Both last Tuesday and this Monday the weather was exceptional with lots of sun and temperatures just below freezing.
Both groups started at Camp Fortune and worked their way via Ridge Road, and a few hills, to Huron Cabin where we had lunch. The first group continued in the afternoon to Champlain and Etienne Brule Lookouts, before heading down the parkway to P10 parking lot. The second group also went to Etienne Brule lookout on their way to the amazing Burma trail, which provided for lots of up and down, and plenty of entertainment. This included the final downhill on Burma, which was long and fast.
Both groups enjoyed the final 2 km downhill on the parkway to the bus. Both days were amazing and we will let the students share their stories in the comments on this post.
