88(*) Open Trails On All 4 Sectors At #Tremblant .
As Of Today...
Only One Month Left In The Official Season.
and... The way it looks now, it’s all of exactly one month of “Spring”.
This is a slightly different, closer orientation of the
pic. we ran for last nights Apres Ski and we’re using
this same basic POV to reinforce the reality of a very
broad scope of full winter, wall-to-wall coverage
over the entire groomed Mountain footprint, despite
the unusual warm temperature anomaly.
The coverage here, and everywhere else in the freshly
groomed, is very near flawless. There may be some
warm sticky bits, but the smoothness is impeccable.

If there is warm/sticky, all you need to do is add pitch angle.
Today, just like yesterday, makes steeper easier, way easier,
and from a technical standpoint, you could even argue that
this is actually a very good opportunity to tackle steeper
challenge levels because it so easy to do them right now.
The increase in the surface friction from warm humidity
is literally acting as an automatic speed control.
Otherwise...
Thank Goodness There’s So Much Frost In The Mountain...
because right now, it’s saving the groomed trail array
from a serious thermal burp.

Conditions Notes:
Utility Caveat:
“Spring” Ski/Board conditions can and do have some
rather extreme opposites of warm or froze, all possibly
within 24 hour daily cycles.
In todays case, we have a sustained warm period with
very high atmospheric humidity at 100% and the only
way to optimize speed and glide is to wax or coat ski
or board bases with “Warm” temp range products that
have hydrophobic/moisture repelling properties to break
the friction source.
Mini Case Study, Versant Nord/North Side Trail # 64,
Marie-Claude Asselin, Bas/Lower.
This trail is approximately 93.824% perfect as a “Recently
Groomed” trail, so it is technically an Un-Groomed example.
This trail has distinct changes in pitch angle along it’s descent
line, but because it was a former “T-Bar” lift line back in 1948,
it has an architecturally pure fall-line, so it is a very easy “Black”
rated challenge rating.
The moguls you see on this first pic. are super-easy Expert
challenge. They have very soft top layers that are exactly
the way we predicted they would be with very “bankable”
warm snow that is extremely forgiving. We would definitely
take a confident Intermediate here for a supervised challenge
upgrade. With absolute speed control and frequent stops,
this is a fabulous mogul learning zone.

To be totally objective, the reason we can’t give it 100% is that
there are at least a couple of very small natural rocky hazards
that are visible in this second downward POV. At this stage, they
can be seen well in advance, so they are easy to navigate around.

This trail is one of our essential diagnostic elements, so
when the conditions get exposed to significant spring
influences, but continue to exhibit the very stable base
quality of this example, you know that at the time of this
current survey mark, the near-term outlook for the whole
Mountain is still very good.

Bring Back The Memories... 
Research Future Visits... If you would like to look up dates you visited Tremblant, or you
want to research days/weeks/months to visit, you can sample what
they look like historically, month by month, year by year.
When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived pages,
you can use the "Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.
There are approximately 6, 25 day Index pages per season.
(
If you "Bookmark" the link above, it will always take you to theFirst index page with the latest posts. That gives you an immediate,
current to 25 day past, review scroll of Winter Alpine Conditions by
consecutive date.)
