28(*) Open Trails on the Cool, Crisp
Sunny Slopes of Tremblant!
It's cool out, so bundle up. Fortunately,
almost no wind.
On The Way To La Griffe!
La Griffe is one of the most popular North Side runs
off the Expo Quad Chair Summit. Due to the weather
it's been on the "progressive" or gradual opening list
quite a bit this week, but today, it's OPEN, open, no
restrictions, so we're running these pic's, sent to us
from Ottawa friends and fellow Tremblant Fans "Miller"
and "DJKidSL" .
Hey Miller! ... Over Here!

and Fuddle Duddle.

we came from the top of the Expo Quad. In the background
you can see the Summit and the top of the Duncan Quad.
A close look up there also shows snowmaking on upper
Lowell Thomas.
Before heading off to the Mountain, we love to look at
the Web Cams. It's always reassuring to have a window
into the days conditions that, in combination with
the weather forecast, tells us how to prepare for the day.

Oh, who cares, it's still fun to stitch these Web Cam Snap Shots
together to form a panoramic composite!
-17C to start out with will be a bit of a "eye opener" this morning,
it always takes us a few days to get used to "winter", but with
very bright sunny skies, very little wind it won't seem so bad if
you have all the vulnerable heat loss areas around wrists, neck waist
lower legs etc., etc. all well sealed.
With this intensity of direct sunlight, there will be noticeable thermal energy
in the rays if you stand quietly, trailside. It's the kind of day that if you
have a dark coloured jacket, you'll feel some heat build when not moving.
The Ski/Board surfaces will be fast, very fast, so you need to use
appropriate cautions yourself, and watch out for those around you
who may be beginners that don't yet have the fine control skills
and could end up in your path.
