What Is “Orographic” Precipitation At Tremblant?


Within the T360 “Mountain Conditions” ski
reporting you will find frequent references to
“Orographic Precipitation" as either an explanation
for, or as a part of the description of, the components
of the conditions du jour.


The reason this is important is because it is
a reliable cause of snowfall over Tremblant
Mountain elevations that can substantially
exceed ground level forecast or actual
accumulation amounts.

See all included annotations below.

As only one example of how Orographic precipitation
is identified as a component of ski conditions weather
forecasting see our daily conditions journal for
1/9/24(January 9th, 2024).
