Could Be Defined By This Very Typical 24 Hour

- It was Sunny and Above Zero C over the whole Mountain
by mid-afternoon yesterday.
- It got down to roughly -13C over the Summit last night.
- It is Forecast to be Sunny and rise to +5 C today.
Due To “The Laws Of Physics”,
There May Be Some Icy Bits.
However... The Vast Majority Will Also Be Large Tracts Of Truly Excellent
Carving Performance Surfaces!!!(**)
As a “Rough” generalization...
Our days are naturally skewed towards Skiing in the afternoons
because publishing a Skiers Diary with relevant daily information
takes up the bulk of production-time in the morning. You literally
need to see how the “Day Breaks” in order to reflect the most
precise record of “Actual” or “Forecast". Coincidentally or not, this
corresponds with what many people consider to be the best way to
summarize any conclusions about a given subject of interest, which is
often expressed under the widely understood phrase...
“At The End Of The Day..."
In the case of “Spring Skiing” it could be said that the best conditions
may be found towards “The End Of The Day...” or, perhaps more accurately
“Towards The Middle-To-The-End Of The Ski Day” because at the beginning
of the day they may be frozen solid. As the Official Snow Report indicates,
this may be the primary reason for so many “Progressive”, or Gradual Trail
Openings each day in the Un-Groomed Open Terrain. The Un-Groomed simply
does not have the benefit of a Mechanical Intervention.
In the sense that there is simply more available Open Terrain in the
afternoons, that works for us, and so we are never in a panic to get out
first thing. In typical “Spring Skiing” Models, it may work for you too,
especially if you like or prefer Un-Groomed, Mogul, Sous Bois, Glade,
or Hors Piste Open Terrain.
However... at Tremblant, there is that other dimension that compensates for
the basic Froze/Thaw/Freeze common 24 hour cycle, and that of course is...
the previously mentioned Mechanical Intervention of Grooming.
At Tremblant, the Night-Shift renders out the vast majority of the
“Thaw” bits to leave us with a Surface default of “Smooth” and
that is a HUGE Asset for mornings like this morning when last
nights Mountain Elevation temp’s got down to somewhere around
-13C or so.
(**)What We See... is that where the Overnight Grooming is done After the
temps have gone Sub-Zero, it generates some truly superb performance
surfaces because it is working with Snow that is already re-frozen, so the
net effect is almost as if it was never thawed to start with.

Conditions Notes:
Edge Sector Off-Line today, otherwise it’s definitely a Classic Tremblant
Spring Skiing day and the predictive accuracy of “Excellent” is 100%!
An eventual softening over Trail Surfaces should yield some really
spectacular Carving Performance as the pre-existing frost under the
top layers should be an effective barrier to any thaw getting too far in.
