For those who aren’t sure they really would like cross country skiing in Gatineau Park, here’s a cheap way to find out: borrow a ski pass from the Ottawa Library. Here’s what they say about it:
Bring Back the Old Trail Names
Sign the petition asking the NCC to revive trail names like Merry-Go-Round (now #11), Chicken Run (now #14) and Pipe Dream (now #20 & #21).
Buy the Historic Trail Map
The NRC which holds copyright has graciously allowed the sale of the 1967 Gatineau Park ski trails map to continue through the print run.
To get yours go to www.Old-Gat-Map.ca -or- visit the Canadian Ski Museum, 1960 Scott St. Ottawa.
Ski Trail Reports
The cards that GuideGatineau has begun distributing to promote the website are considered to be highly environmentally responsible due to the fact that the paper used is 100% recycled and is produced using energy from biofuels plus the ink is vegetable based. Snowshoe Trail Reports
La même offre est aussi en place dans les 14 succursales de la bibliothèque de Gatineau – http://www.gatineau.ca/page.asp?p=quoi_faire/bibliotheque/laissez_passer_ski_parc_gatineau
