Here we are in Gatineau Park, Quebec, which is just across the Riveriere Outaouais (Ottawa River) from Ottawa. In a skiing first for us, our lookout afforded views of a city. Look closely!

Gatineau Park has an incredible number of trails. In another first, park roads have been converted into skiing boulevards for nice, steady climbs and long, rolling descents. True to what we expect from Canada, trails marked green ("beginner") are really more intermediate. At the end of the day, we inadvertently took a red trail and had fun on the expert run. Once we retraced our steps, we tried a backcountry green trail with no tracks, and I wiped out three times. It's pretty hard to recover when your poles disappear into three feet of snow!
