3/29/12 Tremblant Conditions
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:57 am
Apres Ski Preview...
Here's a peek at what you missed at Tremblant today...
If you could have been here, but chose not to be, you made a critical error.
Absolutely impeccable fast carving nirvana on the chosen few.
Stunning Signature Tremblant Views.
------------------------------------------------------------
Late Morning Update:
It's Official...
More on this later... but totally understandable....
-------------- 6:57 A.M. Orig. Post ---------------
18(*) Open Trails on the newly Re-freshed
and very White looking, South and North of Tremblant!
Here are two good reasons regional Tremblant Fans
should be "Burning Rubber" to get to Tremblant A.S.A.P.
La Crete, Summit to Beauvallon. Sissy Schuss Haut, Upper, at "Last Run". If we did not put anything else here, that should be enough, but here's
the detail anyway.
From our Apres Ski, yesterday...
"It is still too early to tell if this classic North Side
Orographic Snowfall is any kind of "Magic Bullet" yet
because it is "Forecast" to stop this eve. To be significant in
terms of additional "Open" capability would take a steady
continuation for practically speaking, all night, but even that
might not be withstanding the efforts of the Mountain Crews.
We are not sure how much they can get done, but certainly,
at about 3 CM's per hour up until "Last Run", every hour this
keeps up improves the odds.
Otherwise and so far, it's enough to make things look really "White",
improve existing "Good" to "Great", and damn near completely
take away "Icy".
Judging by the Official "Open Trails" list this morning, there was not
enough to re-open trails that the "Heat" of last week had taken away...
yet.
We say "Yet", as in "So Far", or "As of this moment", because we feel
that there may be a possibility that there was sufficient to restore
some terrain on a limited basis, but it may take Mountain Crews a
day to process it all to the point of usefulness.
The Above Statement Is A Pure Speculation Because We Have No
Confirmation Or Official Word.... however, ....
...being up for a while in the middle of the night, we were briefly
surfing and found at 3:00 A.M. that not only are the Web Cams back
on-line, but there is evidence of activity that at the least, suggests
the above speculative possibility.
Here is a sample...
Considering that the work being done in these Pic's
is clearly at, and even above, the North Base Turbo
SnowMaker, which is currently all "Closed" terrain....
A logical Question might be... Why dedicate equipment and time to
Groom areas that are not on today's "Open" list, i.e., the bottom
run-outs for Duncan and Expo, Lower?
One possible answer might be that you need to "work" the new snow
while it's fresh, even if you don't intend to use it until some point in
the future, like, "Tomorrow".
Therefore, We think there is a highly speculative chance we may
see some re-opened terrain for the weekend.
We Could Be Wrong.
Moving on to what we know for sure....
We had all the enjoyment and excellent, healthy exercise from
the privilege and benefit of this typical scene yesterday.
It snowed so hard we could not keep the camera lens clear for more than
a few moments. It was falling too fast. There were little gaps every once
in a while created by swirling wind patterns, but those were never for more
than a few meters or seconds at a time. 95% of the time, it was nothing less
than a "White Out", especially on P'tit Bonheur.
This just kept up hour after hour, all afternoon.
Riding Up Lowell Thomas... looking back over
the entrances to La Traverse and Rigodon.
On the South, this was occurring too, but only as far down as the
second bend in Nansen, right at about the top of the pitch. Below that
point the South did have the benefit of the previous night's snowfall
so it was vastly improved from that alone.
What this means right now is that the trails on the list below
will be in exceptional shape.
18(*) Open Trails on the Official, Downloadable,
PDF, Trail and Grooming status report,
Courtesy of Tremblant.ca If you are a true Ski or Board freak and the season is never long
enough for you, even though the open terrain is limited to the
Official List above, it is all in extraordinary condition.
You only have a short while to get out for it.
We recommend that you do whatever you need to, but next November
is a long way off, and you can ski or board these fine conditions now.

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.
GoTo: Archive, Search Reports by Date: Index: http://tinyurl.com/yktelmu
When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived index 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.
( If You "Bookmark" the link above, it will always take you to the
First 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.)
