T360 Late Night Apres Ski Quickie Edit At 11:43 P.M.


It snowed vigorously at Tremblant for most of open hours.
The snowfall is a big, fat, light dry powder crystal that in
places was accumulating at roughly 3 cm’s per hour.

Ski tracks were being filled in in as little as one sequential
run. If you can imagine, it was like fresh powder lines all
afternoon.


Photography was impractical.

Here’s what roughly a billion snowflakes does
to a good action shot....

Poor photography was fantastic run after run fresh tracks.

Off and on, but mostly on... the wind was a ‘Howler”.
Even now it is periodically shrieking through the trees
but during the day, tornadic vortex activity was constantly
evident as it was moving tons of snow across the Summit
from the Sou-West, or just about straight up the Soleil Quad.


The summary is that we feel our call for today to be
a Mother Nature Gift was 100% accurate. It was joyful
day of constant fresh tracks and totally reliable edge set
carving, everywhere.

Tomorrow... It may be technically excellent skiing, but
the potential of -50 C windchill may make it difficult
to really enjoy.

One Excellent, Mild, Snowy Winter Day For Today,

But After That...

Weather Notes:


If you can be here today... it’s a Mother Nature gift.

As far as “The Big Chill” forecast part, at least it’s short.
Last year, we had almost 2 weeks of very deep cold
with mornings as low as -36 C, so a couple of days
of this now seems comparatively short.

It’s winter and we’d be both surprised and disappointed
if we didn’t have a “Cold-Snap” event or two. The Mountain
needs the odd injection of deep cold in order to achieve an
internal frost reserve that builds thaw resistance for Spring.

For additional perspective, please also note the top-line
30 year average temperature value for this date in the
14 day long range outlook, showing at -4C. Statistically,
this cold-snap is so not average, however cold-snap’s
can and do happen periodically at all Ski Resorts.

For Thursday, Feb. 2, 2023:

A One Day Mother Nature Sale Of Extraordinarily Fine,
Very Easy, Snow White Winter Excellence.



1.31.23.TGV.Quad.Views.McCulloch.Summit.Pitch.Over.Lac.T.c.jpg

The very big jewel in the Tremblant crown today should
be the highly refined excellence across the entire range
of freshly groomed trails that have a moderate overnight
7cm’s snowfall coating over a very well stabilized base
that has been quite mogul resistant for the past 2 days.
This is all following a very snowy-soft 60 cm’s week, so
the coverage is also excellent, with a seasonal accumulation
total now over 400cm’s.

The remarkable thing to note at this stage is that at 402 cm’s
on February 2, the 25 year seasonal TOTAL average is roughly
430 cm’s, so this is quickly shaping up to be a very significantly
above average snowfall year as we still have 2.5 months of
additional snowfall yet to come.

For far-away Tremblant fans sitting on the fence thinking
about a Spring Skiing getaway, this news should be a very
positive component in your spontaneous ski holiday planning
motivation. For those already booked, you’re already a winner.


---------------- 9:40 A.M. Insert Update: -------------------


We can confirm the seasons first opening of
Versant Nord/North Side Expo Haut/Upper.
It is described as course grooming with
some icy bits. We think it will respond quickly
to Ski/Board traffic with a short break-in period.
