Ski day #2, and a gorgeous one it was! With the cold temperature it was easy to nail the classic wax. Skating looked very slow!! I was a bit surprised that the parkways were still not groomed, considering we received about 30 cm of snow. For all that it was skiable, however it was quite rutted and frequently soft enough to catch a ski. Ridge, interestingly was slightly better than the parkways as it had been packed more recently. Ridge was like yesterday’s conditions on the parkway. There were many happy skiers out. P10 was about half full, and P8 about 3/4 full as I drove home.

Beautiful photos as usual, Joanne! Perhaps someone can help – I can’t find XC Ottawa’s trail reports online. Anyone?

thank you! I always enjoy reading your reports (and Garry’s) not to mention all the others. The reports are much more helpful than the NCC’s sterile and uninformative website.

somebody finally knows something about XCOttawa’s disappearance! There’s a reddit thread with 21 comments and nobody has a clue, glad you found out here.
