Recovery Mode...
Yesterdays Weather Causes Temporary Open Reductions,
But In Our Observations, There Is Zero Loss Of Terrain Coverage.

It is important to note that the adverse wet weather of
yesterday suffered very little in loss rate. Tremblant was dry
for 90% of the entire Open day. If anything, what we saw was
a significant change in density which we think was the product
of a combination of the early, brief, thin freezing rain, plus more
pervasive and all day Pea-Soup(#) foggy micro particles permeating
the snow surfaces, with the net result causing them to compress
under their own weight, which is far, far better than if it had rained
extensively. The most visible effect is in the Sous Bois where the
loft of the snowpack has been decreased, but density has increased.
Out on the groomed trail base, by up to last run yesterday,
we saw zero loss, zero erosion, and we were still making
figure-of-eight overlapping carving tracks in fresh corduroy
lines... all by ourselves. For sure, the Open terrain was reduced
by freezing rain coatings, so for sure there were some crusty
zones, but there were also vast tracks of magnificent smoothness,
wide expanse, and very fast high performance front-side carving
terrain that due to negligible attendance, was enjoyed for the entire day.
That will all be the basis for the recovery phase that starts
right now.
Weather Notes:
O.K., so bad weather happens... at least there’s snowfall
across most of Open hours today, so whatever effects
may have evolved, they will be evolving favourably
back with any fresh new snow. Fingers crossed for “More”.

Conditions Notes:
Our reference for the very best quality can be best described
as “Select”, meaning that just like yesterday, there is likely to
be a range of recovered terrain that starts with the “Green’s”
like Nansen and P’tit Bonheur(both of which were close to
flawless yesterday), and expands outwards from this core
of main boulevards to eventually encompass the entire
previous range of groomed terrain as it existed before the
adverse weather. This may take 2 to 3 days.
In the meantime, you absolutely need to talk to the Info.Ski
crews, every run if necessary, to optimize matching trail
challenge selection to legitimate skill sets. Additionally,
with so many “Progressive” openings, it is very likely that
the available trails will change during the course of the day
and these folks will have first-hand knowledge if terrain
opens or closes.

Our recommendation at this stage is that if you find
rewarding descent experience, be content to stick with
it for rep’s. One way to think favourably about reduced
terrain days is to consider them “training days”, where
you make lemonade out of lemons by practicing finesse
and refined technique within the zones you can find that
are sweet spots for your skills.
One example of fabulous fun yesterday was an old favourite
descent path of Versant Nord/North Side Expo Sector, trail # 79,
Sissy Schuss Haut/Upper, to trail # 78, Fuddle Duddle Bas/Lower.
This entire descent was nothing but super smooth and super fast
corduroy all day. We were still crossing our own corduroy tracks
for figure-of-eights at last run, and we were able to repeatedly get
sequential, zero-gravity air turns off the bottom 4-step contour
pitches of Fuddle Duddle for run after run after run. That one
run alone was addictively fun, and it was only one sample of
many similar zones of excellence within the available open terrain.
It is also important to understand that even in reduced terrain,
there is a very large degree of versatility between skill level
suitability. In the above Sissy Schuss example, while Experts
could work effectively on technical carving skills, Intermediates
and even Beginners could slowly navigate this descent due to
the immaculate, uninterrupted smoothness. With virtually no
one on it, finding your own pace is safe, easy and fun!
We respectfully submit you will be able to find a similar approach
to rewarding enjoyment today.
No one can do anything about the wet atmospheric conditions, so we
can only make the best of things during the gradual expansion phase
that always follows immediately after any form of adverse weather.

(#) When there is “Pea Soup” in a foggy reference, vision was/will
be an issue for anyone with a conventional set of goggles
on, but for us, we always carry a pair of yellow lens safety
glasses coated in Rain-X for these exact conditions because
the yellow lens almost completely restores contrast, so we
had great vision, just with less panoramic scope. When it’s
+ 7 C, you don’t need goggles, it’s already hot out, so we
recommend all serious Spring Style skiers go to the Hardware
Store and for $10.00 bucks or so on sale, get a pair of yellow
curved-lens safety glasses for any warm, foggy weather like this.
Keep them in your kit-bag and you’ll have them when needed.
Thanks for your visit!
