24(*) Open Trails On Sud/South And Nord/North Sectors At #Tremblant .
This Is A Sample Of The Average Tremblant Trail Surface Performance Quality.
If you think it looks good, that’s because it is.

For this early season time period, some might even call
these conditions “Great”, or “Excellent”. Relative to all
historic references, both of those claims could be argued
as legitimate.
It’s no secret we at T360 are inspired by Racers of all ages
who so clearly demonstrate the transferable elements of
competition technique that can very quickly and very
effectively applied by recreational skiers.
In this example below, virtually everything being done
by this Racer-in-training could be incorporated to variable
degrees by any experienced skier of Intermediate or Expert
skill level, with immediate results of improvement. Racers
set the bar for pure athletic efficiency.

All of the benefits of posture, forward leading hand position,
compact angularity through the torso, and well centred balance
over the skis shown by this racer-in-training above, can be
immediately derived by all recreational skiers beyond absolute
Beginners. Get Low And GO!
Weather Notes:
Of course... we’re hoping that over higher, cooler, trail elevations
this is all going to be snow...

Conditions Notes:
Our forecast for increased depths and consistency in the loose skiable
top layers of the groomed surfaces is exactly what we got yesterday
and we expect that the superb performance across all skill levels is
going to be a repeat for today. The total degree of softening may be
directly proportional to the rise of temp’s up the vertical cross-section
of the Mountain, so look for some really dramatic traction on the lower
portions of base levels.

Due to the early season snowfall not being at accumulations
suitable for the Sous Bois/Hors Piste/Glade skiing categories
yet, we have to focus on the opportunities as they exist in the
“Front-Side Carving” potential of the groomed open trails and
that is one reason we put so much attention into practicing
Alpine race technique. These are conditions that are absolutely
prime for developing carving technique that is the fundamental
capability of virtually every “Shaped” ski sold in the last 20
some-odd years.

The Right Tools For The Job...
(A short conditions utility rant...)
At T360 we have very definite opinions about the suitability
of Slalom Race skis(and the recreational versions), as the ultimate
Tremblant Expert's descent utility tools. We think we are not
alone either. Anecdotally, if you look at the professional ski
instructors as well as a substantial number of Local/Regional
Expert skiers, we would estimate that about, approximately,
somewhere around, 60% of these groups are using an “SL”,
Slalom style ski with a turning radius of between 10.5 and
13 metres. (This concept could be similarly applicable at about
95% of Ski areas in Eastern North America.)
To us, this makes perfect sense because the average trail, and
many of the best descent lines here are around 10 metres or less
in width, so if you want to “carve” your turns, the shortest radius
skis are quite near perfect. We repeatedly ask why you would want
a consumer-grade 18 to 24 metre turning radius ski in a 10 metre
turning environment, it automatically means you end up “skidding”,
sliding or doing primarily “parallel style” turns, but not carved.
All of our recent conditions here have indeed been very fine
for all styles of groomed technique, but especially fine for
front-side carving with them Hot-Rod SL's.

Please Note Above: While almost all base level regions have been
soaked with periodic rainy bits, as you can see above, right on up
to yesterday at last run, the Summit and Nord/North Sectors at
Tremblant have primarily gotten snow. If the area around this
upper P’tit Bonheur zone had seen any rain, or heat, the fluffy
snow so evident in the tree boughs would simply not be here.

Bring Back The Memories... 
Research Future Visits... If you would like to look up dates you visited Tremblant, or you
want to research days/weeks/months to visit, you can sample what
they look like historically, month by month, year by year.
When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived pages,
you can use the "Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.
There are approximately 6, 25 day Index pages per season.
(
If you "Bookmark" the link above, it will always take you to theFirst index page with the latest posts. That gives you an immediate,
current to 25 day past, review scroll of Winter Alpine Conditions by
consecutive date.)
