The Fujiwhara Effect???
The Snow In The Trees Tells You All You Need To know.
We are not sure if we’ve ever seen a stretch of weather
so close, but just nicely a handful of degrees C below Zero,
over such a long period, and forecasted forward, as we’re
experiencing now.

It is really quite remarkable to see Winter being so very well
maintained, for so long a stretch of sequential days, at so
close, but just Sub-Zero C. For those Future Tremblant Conditions
Researchers, we’d have to say that even if you scrolled through many
seasons in our Archived records within this site, we don’t think you’d
find quite this many connected days of this exact pattern.
For Current Tremblant Ski/Board planners, wow... too easy to dress for,
too easy for Gorgeous All White Winter Ski Conditions, not only now,
but looking forward at the 14 day Long Range Forecast.
Basically, If you like Easy Weather and Great Skiing/Boarding,
the next two weeks looks like a hard combination to beat!
This is where the usual -4C Elevation Differential can have a
huge positive impact on the Tipping Points that can effect
Trail conditions. Naturally, the closer you are to base levels,
the warmer or closer to Zero C you will probably find it.
As long as there is Overcast that means there is far less
risk of compounding Solar Energy factors, so we’re actually
happy to keep the cloud, especially when there’s such good
prospects of new Snowfall in the currently developing Fujiwhara
Effect, multi-low pressure systems. This dynamic atmospheric
pattern has tremendous Snowmaking potential for the entire
Nor-East Coastal region of North America.
Tremblant is on the western side of this potential and may not
see the heaviest intensity of snowfall, but the one thing these
models do not take into account with the regional accumulation
forecasts is the localized anomalies that can be very positive
due to the Mountains own Weather Making, and in the case of
winter, Snow Making tendencies that can generate extra snow
as moist, warm, surface air is pushed up into the cooler air strata
of the Winds Aloft above the Mountain.

Weather Notes:
Complex Weather Factors Are All “White”
And All “Winter”... but with detail that is not yet
completely predictable.

What Is The Fujiwhara Effect Anyway?
(Please Note: It seems there may be a spelling
mistake in the Graphic’s that are labelled “Fujiwara”
when the correct spelling would be “Fujiwhara”.
The missing “H” is by western pronunciation,
more or less silent, so the phonetic’s are similar.)
The phenomenon being described is called the "Fujiwhara Effect"
and was so-named for Japanese meteorologist Sakuhei Fujiwhara,
who originally identified/described it in 1921.
The typical reference is to Two Tropical Typhoons or Hurricanes
in close proximity that generate a circular rotational behaviour
around a pivot point that is not necessarily fixed.
However... NOAA(#) also uses a broader description that does
not restrict the phenomenon to just such violent systems,
where they say two “storms" closer in strength can gravitate
towards each other until they reach a common point and merge,
or merely spin each other around for a while before they either
merge into one another, or spin off on independent paths.
It is generally acknowledged that the pivot point will be related
to the larger of the systems, although the rotational centre point
can be influenced by other systems that block or facilitate movement
to any degree.
As annotated above, that “Third Party” reference to “Other” systems
is exactly what is happening now as a very large system that was stalled
just over the Nor-Eastern New-England/Maritimes Coastline, is finally
moving off Eastward, out over the Atlantic Ocean. That is forecasted to allow
the development you see charted above.
(#)NOAA- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Branch of the United States Federal Government Department
of Commerce, is a frequent reference for us, and a recognized
Global Authority on the relationships between Weather and
Earth’s surfaces.
Conditions Notes:
With a relatively low to moderate Nor-Easterly wind,
you’ll find it rising up over P’tit Bonheur and crossing
the Summit towards the Gondola Offload. We would
not expect it to find it uncomfortable in any way. With
New Snowfall and this low speed there could be a fair
degree of Upper Versant Nord, North fill-in because it’s
a bit too slow to push much over the Summit to the
Sud, South Side. What the South gets would be closer
to the average accumulations that may statistically be
recorded for regional base levels.
The Official Snow Report lists 68 Trails as Groomed and we think
they should all be close to the Skiers definition of “Fantastic”,
particularly after a very healthy period of Snowy Stability
for the Base without any undue recent “Thermal” events.
In the Sous Bois, Glade, Hors Piste, Un-Groomed...
If you thought it was fun over the last week, then
today will still be Great, but just wait ’till tomorrow.
The recent weeks fun in the Sous Bois is still largely
the effects of the big snow of Feb.28th, so if there’s
any kind of repeat to that level, there will be much
joy within our friends that love to go au Natural.

Very Important Repeat:

the next two weeks looks like a hard combination to beat!
Important Note To Future Tremblant Research Planners...
This is a key observational marker that provides great insight
into how Tremblant’s Alpine Snow Sports Terrain can be beneficially
enhanced by “Tipping Point” weather factors at any temp’s close to
Zero C, when the Sud, South Resort Base is forecast to be at or
below 4C.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT... Cooler Mountain Elevations keep
more Winter-like characteristics of Performance and Appearance.
Why Are You Using Up So Much Space On A Tremblant Ski Conditions
Report For So Much Detail On The Big Weather Picture?
The answer is that over time, this date as an archived report
will be seen by many more Tremblant Ski Holiday Planners in
future August’s, September’s, October’s, while researching their
Holiday Planning/Booking Time-Slot Options. Looking at this,
Or Any Other Date, needs to be periodically set within the Regional
Weather Context in order to illustrate Tremblant’s position, and
what we feel are it’s inherent advantages and benefits within
unique weather events effecting it’s Geographical Peer Group.
