Re: A problem with fewer updates on ski conditions in the Gatineau Park.
I agree with your observations and add my voice to the level of annoyance. I have been away from skiing in the park for a number of years. This year I bought a pass and have been out more than 20 times, which is decent. But the level of care and grooming I see has reduced significantly from my past experience. In the last year I was out, which I would guess was about 6 years ago I regularly skied on freshly groomed trails. The conditions were reliable made better by the active grooming. This year I have had he pleasure of skiing on recently groomed trails twice. Most instances when I am out I cannot see any evidence of recent grooming. Take today for instance it is cold after a warm day. Most certainly the skate runs will be icy, which is where they were heading last evening when I was last up. So did the grooming take place to break the crust up? My guess not likely. Can anyone tell me if they had?
