First day in 5 with no Snowmaking Cloud, but when you look closely,
lots going on anyway.

story is. The Pic may be a wee bit fuzzy, however there was a lot of
“Atmosphere” , i.e., an almost haziness in the air. We were able to burn
through it with highlights and definition, but it was a hand held Telephoto,
and the initial focus point was the Top of Flying Mile, so there’s only so
much you can dial up in the rest of it.
The Big Features on Johannsen look HUGE!
…And Promenade has some big bumps too!

go South, things are bad there. We immediately set out for Soleil because
it had an icy bottom chunk at the bottom there for a couple recent days,
and we thought that may have come back, however today we found
Toboggan arguably the best it’s been, from Top to Bottom in say, 5 seasons???
Very Fine Anyway, Very Fine!

like, but we suspect that there will be a TON of Grooming tonight
for the anticipated Weekenders, so... if it wasn’t already perfect today,
we think it will be tomorrow.
Number of Open Runs Tomorrow ??? Not sure, for sure, but maybe mid
to upper 80’s ??? It would be really nice if 95/95 were Open, but we still
may be a wee ways off of that yet.
Weather Tomorrow At Tremblant…
Up to Daytime High @ -7 C with Snow/Overcast…
Super Easy after this Cool week!
---------------- 8:37 A.M. Orig. Post --------------------
78(*) Open Trails on the f,f,f,f,Frosty 4 Sides of Tremblant.
According to The Weather Network, this will be the final
day of this run of Kool, and 24 hours from now things will feel more
normal as temps rise up to Saturday Afternoons projected high of -7 C.
So, for the moment, it is what it is… very cold outside today.
No doubt, below average seasonal values for this date, however,
we must also point out with equal or greater emphasis…
The Skiing/Boarding Are Exceptionally Fine And Very Fast.

Corduroy Today starts out with.
Furthermore, with the limited attendance of Mid-week, these impeccably
smooth surfaces have All-Day Durability and at Last Run yesterday our
final descent was 98% of what First Tracks would have been.
We don’t know how else to say it, but if you can prepare for the Kool,
or Cope with the Kool by taking frequent inside breaks, using “Hot Shots”
or similar types of Hand-Warmers, or any other mode of adapting, your
reward will some of the most thrilling Skiing/Boarding on Fast, Groomed
surfaces recent memory can recall.
If you cruise at slower speeds, the Snow is capable of decent control
even if your gear is un-tuned or edges worn, BUT….
Fresh, Recent(in terms of use) Tuned Edges are required for any level
of higher speed or turning performance.
The surfaces are so fast that in order to control turning force at speed,
you need maximum grip to offset the centrifugal force your body weight
will make.
And… On top of that… Fresh Sharp Edges need less “Angle of Attack” or
“Tilt” in order to maintain Grip, so there is less need to angulate Skis/Board
to an extreme degree to compensate for dull edges and at the same time,
they give you a greater range of control angulation for sustained very high
performance when you need it.
Tuned Gear is a “Win, Win” situation in these conditions.

Snowmaking continues at Tremblant and while the bulk of it
is on the South(see “*” icons on list below for exact locations),
Vanier and the adjacent portion of Duncan on the North are
getting some as well.
