Kings and Queens of the Mountain.

That is how every one who is lucky enough
to be Skiing or Boarding at Tremblant is going to feel today.

Certainly, only Royalty would have the privilege of having
such a magnificent, beautifully maintained facility for their
own private use.

Oh Yes, you will have to share with some other lucky people
today, but now that the Holidays are over, the Weekend is past,
Tremblant will seem like a private club and You are the
Honored Guest that will have the Royal treatment if you are
here today.

You will be able to cover so much ground today that you
will become completely absorbed in the Natural Beauty that
surrounds you.

Today, the chosen few will find themselves in a private winter Paradise.

This is why you book your Ski Vacation at Tremblant.

I Love days like today because of the awesome sense of
Freedom that you have when the big Holiday crowds have
gone and Tremblant seems to speak to you alone.

Being here today is the most incredible Joy imaginable.

If you are not here today, I hope this motivates you visit as
soon as you can.

Ski Memories of a lifetime are made at times like this.

Todays weather will be mild by comparison to last week with
a starting temp of -12C and rising to -9C with a South West wind,
so it will be coming across the Mountain from the Tashereau side.

We start out with overcast, but there is the possibility of the sun
peaking out, which would be a nice treat, but the positive side
of the cloud cover today is more Snow, so we'll take that cheerfully.

94 runs open. The Mountain is coming into her own and condition
will do nothing but get better.

Ski anywhere, Board anywhere and have fun!

Speed will build up quickly today and even though you will
have lots of grip and control, please watch out for others and
go safely.

PLEASE NOTE: There is daytime snowmaking going on at various
places on the Mountain today so BE CAREFUL IN THOSE ZONES.

FUNCTIONAL "HOW TO HINT"...

If you do pass Snow Guns, do so SLOWLY to prevent airborne
snow particles from icing up your goggle lenses.

If you go too quickly through the falling blown snow, your lenses
will "run into" the airborne particles, and those particles may or
will stick to the lenses. This occurs because your FORWARD velocity
is greater than the particles DOWNWARD velocity. There are only 2
ways to remove a film of snow particles stuck to your goggle lenses:

1) Scrape them off. This is a mechanical process that can damage
the lens coatings and leave visible scratches that can greatly reduce
clear vision through the lens. Another thing that can happen there
is that you end up smearing mushy stuff all over the lenses causing
blurred, unsafe vision.

2) Go into a warm area, let the lenses thaw out, dry them off and
head back out. This is the only safe way to protect your goggle
lenses, BUT, it takes a lot of time and it will cost you at least 1 run.

The moral of the story is: If you go SLOWLY around the areas of
falling Snow Blowing, you can avoid particles hitting and sticking
to your lenses. Basically, when you go slowly enough, the particles
DOWNWARD velocity is greater than your FORWARD velocity, so you
don't "run into", or get "hit" by them.

It takes only a few seconds to slow down, saves either damage or
the need to go in and ultimately is far less hassle.

Watch out, and around, for traffic in Snow Making areas, because
people who may not be as smart as you are, may not be able to
see as well and could end up in your path.
