T360 Apres Midnight, Apres Ski @12:56 A.M.

Super-Fine Winter Day With Rising Temps
And Outstanding Traction/Grip.

Todays Performance was equal to our expectations
of Speed and Finished Surface Quality.

Fascinating Active Weather Passes Over,
just skimming the Mountain’s Summit,







Very Big Race Training Operations Going
On Over Every Corner Of Open Groomed Terrain!







Here are a few reasons why tomorrow’s going to be
an Excellent Day at Tremblant!






We think Tremblant is in very good base condition
with tonights Grooming Operations to receive the New
Snowfall in tomorrows forecast.

Another Reason Tomorrow’s Going To Be Great...

25C Degrees WARMER in 30hrs!!!

More in the morning, hope to see you then!

88(*) Open Trails on the Frosty-Kool Snow White Slopes at #Tremblant .

Cool, Fast, Fun. But... You need to be prepared.






BONUS: Main Lift Hours Extended To 3:45 as Days Get Longer!

If you time your descents correctly, that’s Two(2) Extra Runs!
Great News For Those Who Only Have Afternoon’s To Ski.






Absolutely Gorgeous, Iconic, Laurentian Scenery. but... You need to be prepared.

Super-Cool First Tracks, Warming Up by about 10 Degrees C in 5 Hours
to -15C by 1:00P.M. At least it’s moving in the right direction...






Conditions Notes:

We’ve been commenting on ambient Friction levels over New Snow
which are generally getting lower, however Super-Cool Snow can
have more surface resistance, so this morning may feel as though
there is less “Glide” until a bit of temp-rise works into the mix.

A bit of Friction helps make Trails Like this Marie-Clade Asselin Sample
from Yesterday Easier, so it may be a good opportunity to safely try
more challenge.






Above: Looking Up...
The Lower Portion of Marie-Claude Asselin,
Versant Nord, North Side Trail # 64
Below: Looking Down...






Marie-Claude Asselin, or MCA as it is also known to Locals, is one
of our diagnostic centres for Conditions within the Upper sectors
of Versant Nord, the North Side. It is great shape with little or no
glitches and it indicates the overall stability of this whole side of
the Mountain which has gotten and kept very fine Natural Snow.

It is a Single Black, Expert Run, but in this excellent condition, we would
take a confident Intermediate with good left/right “Hockey Stop” ability
on it with supervision. It has a more gentle, and wider descent than it’s
immediate neighbour, Trail #65, Banzai, but enjoys the very same rate
of Snowfall this sector so frequently gets.

Another advantage of this area is its very often complete protection from
high wind speeds. It is sheltered under the Lee of the Summit, and the
tall trees on either side additionally buffer any winds. You can often stand
trail-side here and be in complete calm, while overhead, you can hear the
wind howling. In a way, spooky, but very interesting to observe.






Weather Notes:







General Long-Range Reference...

The Return of the Polar Vortex to this side of the Hemisphere is making News
and is going to affect all of North America for possibly the next several weeks,

However...

In comparison to the Shortest days of the year in the previous December
episode, we do not think the Low Temps will be as deep. Look again at the
14 day forecast above. We think that looks “Easy” for a Ski Resort.
The benefit will be in the consistency of what we call “Pure Winter” conditions
where there are no Thermal “+” Value temps at Mountain Elevations that
can generate overnight Icy Cycles. Mountain Crews are typically able to focus
completely on Refinement as opposed to Recovery, so Ski/Board Conditions
should only get better.

There is also the currently forecasted indication that the Southern
extent of the Cold Boundary may not be as far down as it was in
December either, so we may see more temperature moderation
closer to the edge of passing Active Weather Systems. The Sun
is higher in the sky as Earth begins the tilt towards Spring, so it’s
inevitable that Solar Energy will have a greater fundamental effect.

Grooming, Snowmaking, Lift Status and Mountain Conditions
for Feb. 3rd, 2018, Courtesy of Tremblant.ca
Please Note: The Low Temp. Shown at -14C appears to be the projected
overnight low for tonight.






It’s SUPER-BOWL Weekend... this usually means a busy day today
(but the cool may affect that to some extent), and somewhat busy
tomorrow morning, until Noon, when all the Rabid Party People
decide to leave en-masse, and the Round-Abouts begin to look like
NASCAR Race Tracks. For some completely Not Understandable Reason,
the Herd of Super-Bowl Fans would much rather line up on the Autoroute
than Ski, so typically, all the Dedicated Tremblant Ski/Board Fans end
up with an afternoon of Zero Lift Lines and Rapid Lapping.
