The NCC maintains a ski trail conditions page usually updated 3 times a day. I’ll often include a summary here with links. XCOttawa draws on reports from skiers’ on-trail experience. Those reports are automatically added here and we’re working for even better integration. Other people post information in other places and this page will attempt to aggregate links to those reports as well.

To do so email [email protected] to say you want to submit trail reports and we’ll set you up.Please be patient, we might be out skiing ourselves.
XC Ottawa has also set up an excellent trail reporting web-app and plan to allow other skiers to contribute. Their app extends beyond Gatineau Park. XC Ottawa is probably the second most important trail reporting resource in the region; their reports are qualitative while the NCC's are more quantitative.
The NCC is the most important trail reporting resource if only because they have the "brand" to pull in web visits. The volume is serious for them, representing the second or third most frequently visited part of their website. They are in the midst of a web redesign process and are also planning to incorporate an interactive component so that skiers can contribute.
