95(*) Open Trails on Sud/South, Nord/North, and Soleil Sectors at #Tremblant .
--- Insert Note: There were 3 Open Trail Revisions to 78, 74, and 72
during Open Hours. Archival Copies are attached below. Please also
note that the time stamps are not necessarily accurate. The system
has an internal periodic refresh function that shows a time for the
latest page refresh as we find it. ---
The Most Important Concept For This Weather:
Conditions need to be divided into 2 different categories.
1) Trail Surface Conditions
2) Atmospheric Conditions
#1 - The Trail Surface Conditions are typically “Very Fine” to “Excellent” because
the rain generates a universal softness over the groomed trail network
that instantly renders consistency over square area that may have previously
had slickness or icy bits. In other words, rainy weather sort-of evens things out.
#2 - The trick is to be able to enjoy those surfaces with personal comfort,
i.e., being able to remain dry clothing next to your body. Nothing wicks
away body heat quicker than wet clothing
What You Need To Remain Functionally Dry And Comfortable

Instant “Spring”.
Both Weather And Surfaces.
We are actually surprised at the number of Open trails first thing
this morning. We thought there might be more in the way of strategic
closures for resource/inventory preservation. If there were reductions
in open terrain during Open Hours today we would fully understand that
with these weather factors.

Conditions Notes:
Applicable To All Groomed Open Trails Available Across All Skill Levels
of Green, Blue and Black rated trail challenge:
As we have stated above, the Ski/Board conditions within an ambient
rainy atmospheric context are generally very fine, to excellent, because
the softness tends to even out surface characteristics to one larger, softer,
overall level.
In this specific case, the pre-existing frost in the substrates, very
well chilled up to yesterday, tends to act as a barrier from underneath
that prevents the softness from going too deep, so what you end
up with is a really high performance top layer that is super shred-able
and facilitates surprisingly high lateral traction. That typically means
carving performance at top rates of seasonal comparison.
Of course, most “Consumer” casual Ski/Board folks will think we’re “Nuts”
to even go outside, let alone have a great day, but if you can stay dry and
comfortable, you can, and we have, enjoyed some of our very best technical
Skiing in rainy days. If you read all the rainy day posts in this record, you will
see we have written the very same thing for decades.
In the Sous Bois/Glades and Hors Piste, Un-Groomed... A' la Carte.
All explorations in Open Terrain should be undertaken with caution
and reduced speed in initial descents.

---------- Apres Ski Insert Edit --------------
In the original body of this post we expressed “Surprise” at
the initial Open Trail availability, so we are not “Surprised” to
have seen the Open Trails revised downward. If there is a hint
to the purpose or concern of the revisions, the clue might be
in the predominance of the reductions being in the Sous Bois,
Glades, Hors Piste Un-Groomed categories. We think that reflects
2 primary factors, safety and preservation within those trails closed.
Tomorrow is a new day, and with temps forecast to return to Sub-Zero C,
that means you’re going to need good edges for tomorrow. Get out
your file tonight if you can do it yourself.
Perhaps more importantly, look at the long range weather forecast and
note that there are frequent daily temperature oscillations crossing the
Zero C/32F mark, so the “Edge” notes are directly applicable to all
attendance for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for your visit!
Bottom Line: If you can separate the Atmospheric conditions
from the Surface Conditions with a functional comfort barrier,
the Skiing in these conditions is usually excellent.
