weather forecast with Natural Snow included.
Just In Time For Christmas!
The current weather factors mean that we should be able
to count on a steady, gradual increase of the Open Terrain
over the next week at Tremblant.
Best Temperatures for Mother Natures own Snow Making
are approximately -5 degrees C, or 23 degrees F, Plus/Minus
a bit. (Obviously, the "Minus" a bit is better for us Skiers/Boarders
as any temps on the cooler side of the scale enhance the overall
durability of our Alpine surfaces.) This week is looking very good
for these great Snow Making conditions and we think that regardless
of the Natural contribution, we'll be seeing a substantial effort by
Tremblant Mountain crews to consolidate base construction with blown
snow in many sectors of the Mountain's annual progression of terrain
development.
Looking at the Official, Downloadable Trail and Grooming PDF file
below, we can see that there are efforts being applied to Alpine,
Biere-en-Bas, Nansen and Johannsen on the South Side, while on the
North, Sissy Schuss, Lower Fuddle Duddle and La Griffe continue the
development work in this very popular sector of the Mountain off
the Expo Quad Summit.
Many experts will be overjoyed to see La Griffe being brought closer to
open as it will add Black Diamond challenge to the selection. The fact that
Fuddle Duddle Lower is already on-line, makes it all the easier to integrate
La Griffe into the action.
Interesting to note that there's SnowMaking on La Passe, the trail that
leads from the top of the Flying Mile Quad Chair, north-westerly to join
with Nansen Lower, so evidently, we can anticipate a complete
top-to-bottom Nansen in the not-too-distant future. This path from
the Flying Mile Summit on down Via La Passe and Nansen is one of
the most accommodating beginner environments at Tremblant, a
very good place to start for "never-ever" newbies.
History and experience show that while the Human SnowMaking efforts
progress at a steady pace, the real difference in accelerated terrain
opening comes from Mother Natures willingness to "Co-Operate" with
her own snow and that is the weeks Wild-Card we are all so anxious
to see.
Today's Skiing And Boarding:
Very High Quality Machine Groomed granular with natural
mixed in for smooth top layers. Daily improvements due
to additional accumulations of natural snow, overnight grooming
and daily traffic/wear which all help to render a finer and
finer snow crystal surface.
There may be some continuing small/short icy sectors where wind,
wear and/or steepness can produce or combine to form slick areas.
Watch out around trail intersections, run-outs or over crests
for these areas. Careful exploration mindful of speed will quickly
give you a feel for where the best surfaces are for your skill level.
We must remember that we are still very early on in the
season and the depth of the base we are enjoying right now
is largely the work of Mountain Crews. On that basis, we have
much to be thankful for, because without them, those bases
quite simply would not exist.
What we think is amazing, and what we also think some people
take for granted, is the quality of the finished surface layers
that we have now, and since Opening Day at Tremblant.
We've said this before... years ago as kids, we all kept a pair of
"rock" skis, an old pair that we hauled out at the start of the season
to avoid gouges and damage to the bases of our good gear that basically,
had to sit in the corner while we waited for enough snow to cover
up all the natural hazards.
Not anymore. Tremblant's excellent surface and base quality starts
on day 1 and goes for the entire season from there, on virtually
everything that's open.

It's been a lousy start to the Ski Season in Europe.
World Cup Ski Competitions in Europe up 'til this past
week had to be cancelled because of no snow.
We are where we are and we can't change that, so compared
to our European friends, we've gotten off to a great start
here at Tremblant. Even on a regional basis, Tremblant has
enjoyed the benefit of it's Summit's higher elevations where
the cooler temps of altitude have allowed Crews to put a
great base in place that we feel may be the best conditions
in the Laurentian's.
Cruisin' Up TGV, Looking forward to carving some of this
wonderful pre-Christmas snow we've got.
