2:30, it summarizes all the relevant factors that will contribute
to your enjoyment, fitness and well being.
But, of course, there's more...

Overheard up on the Gondola Conversation...
Golf Balls On the North?
There's no question that after last weeks "Warm" followed
by Friday and onward "Cold", surfaces that were all intact
in terms of coverage were also solid. Mountain Crews work
every single day Grooming and after one of these natural
temperature swing cycles, that also includes breaking up "Solid"
and rendering it into finer and finer particles. This process,
assisted by Mountain User Traffic, works over a couple of days
to produce top layers that have a depth of lose snow that's both
easy and fun to Ski/Board on.
There are portions, particularly on trail edges, where larger
chunks exist and these may be referred to as "Golf Balls"
due to similar shape/dimensions. Nothing you can do other
than get out and use the trails to help speed up the process.
None of this detracts from enjoyment as far as we are concerned
because Ski/Board conditions are always relative to Weather Factors
out of Human control.
Nobody does a quicker, better job of restoring than the Tremblant
Mountain Crews, so if there are "golf balls" here, there are likely
"tennis balls" everywhere else.
The nightly Grooming does about 90%, and most of the Trail
centres have finer, more snowy-like particle sizes. There's more
natural snow in the forecast for tomorrow and that, in addition
to another days Grooming and traffic will go further yet toward
the complete reduction in any chunky feel under Skis/Boards.
In the Mean-time, the quality of your Tremblant Alpine Snow Sport
Workout is enough to turn your legs into Jello if you so desire.
If all you want to do is cruise, or go easy, stay primarily in Trail
centres and look to the top pic's in this post for the vast majority
of surface conditions you'll find.
Below: The Shaded North light was quite flat yesterday, so this
might be the best way to show particle size on bright Beauvallon.
Even though there are still some larger pieces, note the carve
lines through it too. This is a case where Carving technique gets
smoother action than Skidding technique, but it's still all very easy
to Ski or Board on.

Beautiful. Brilliantly Sunny, Light Westerly Breeze moving
across the Summit from the Soleil Side towards Lowell Thomas.
Mid-Aft. high temp @ -8C, and there will be thermal warming
energy in quiet Trailside breaks.
Easy, easy scenic Winter day.
Snow starting tonight and carries through tomorrow with estimates of
up to 15 CM or about 6 inches. What a perfect start to the week.

Please Note: The Official Snow Report from Tremblant.ca states
that there are changes being made to the data presentation
over time. Anecdotally, it seems that "Progressive" or Gradually
Opening Trails may or may not be included in the Total Open
as Tremblant.ca modifies the data format. Historically, as in
past seasons, "Progressive" Open Trails have been included in
the Total Number Open.
