T360 Mid-Evening Apres Ski Short-Form Edit @ 8:04 P.M.
Today was a classic white, early winter natural snowfall day.
The new snow is very, very fine, but the current evidence
suggests it may have been a "Mother Nature One Day Event".

So many questions.
The Conditions?... What’s Open? What Opening? What’s gunna happen with the weather?
The Weather?... It’s going to get warmer in parts of Quebec than Florida?
The Covid-19?... What could possibly go wrong with planning?
To begin with, this is a daily ski conditions report and we have to focus first on
today, so...
From what the immediacy of “What trail should we take next?” and/or “Is trail “xxxxx xxxx” Open?
the members of Tremblant’s unique Info.Ski Crews can help you today with the very best, very latest
openings, and conditions trail updates, especially when the Open Trail List is “Dynamic”, or changing
during the course of the day. They are radio-controlled from a central admin point, so they can contact
H/Q for anything that can’t be answered on the spot.
As far as the current Covid-19 factors, we do not think anyone has the final answers yet. It is almost
a moment-by-moment situation where Government regulators and Industry/Commercial entities are
struggling to find the balance between permissible public activity and public pandemic safety. The
best thing to do is to monitor as many legitimate Government or other public information sources
as frequently as possible. Updates/Changes can literally occur at any moment.
As far as the weather is concerned, we go into that in detail below.
In The Meantime....
Quebec Ski Areas continue to be open, and here at Tremblant...
The accumulations of snow exceed the Official 5 cm’s total
in many areas because of wind induced drifting.

Drift-in is a common phenomenon we talk about whenever there is a snowstorm
due to the benefit individual sectors can have as a result of combinations of wind
direction and velocity, as well as rates of snowfall accumulation. Additionally, due to
what Meteorologists call “Prevailing Winds”, i.e., the direction they most commonly
come from, there is a typical pattern that re-occurs over and over again. In the case
of Tremblant in winter, the prevailing winds are Sou-Westerly, but anything Westerly,
with either a south or north bent will generate much the same effect over the upper
Nord/North Sectors at Tremblant as with sufficient velocity(like yesterday), the Westerly
based wind direction is prone to pushing snowfall up the aerodynamic ramp of the
Mountains shape, where it swirls over the top and then drifts down into the lee-side
where sheltered calmer winds produce results like you see above in the Nord/North
newly opened trail # 75, Andy-Moe.
You could literally hear the wind roaring overhead, but in this moment above, the wind
on the ground is nearly calm, and the snow falls straight down here. While Andy-Moe is
not a large or long trail, it is what we call a “Telltale” sign or indicator of what is generally
happening and it is important because it opens on totally natural snowfall and is not
supported with snowmaking.
This drift-in benefit was obvious throughout the entire day as the upper Nord/North was
often completely vision-obscured by massive amounts of settling snow.
