Preliminary T360 Apres Ski...
Full Edition Apres Ski Under Construction, Post advisory to follow, but
in the mean-time...
Trail du Jour Award goes to....
Toboggan! When it starts out minus 20 anything, and it's
sunny, Soleil is a good candidate for a bit of Solar Energy
relief and Toboggan's a good candidate for Fun!
We were right on both accounts, there was a lot of "Soleil"
on Soleil, and a ton of fun on Toboggan, so much so that we're
awarding Toboggan with the "Trail du Jour" .... It was a "Hoot"!

This is as close as we can get you to the Summit

300 MM Telephoto hand-held from about 5Km away.

needs to be in and out of jacket, we're waiting just a
little while for the Sun to warm things up a few degrees.
O.K., so we can't do anything about the weather, but we can do
something with the weather, and that's Skiing/Boarding
at Tremblant with every single layer we own, all on at once.
If You Are Prepared...
Skiing and Boarding Will Be Exceptional!
If You Are Prepared....
Cold Weather Alert:
No, Zero, Nada, Not Even A Sliver,
Not So Much As A Speck, Nothing In The Way Of....
exposed, uncovered skin this morning....
No Matter how you say it, the point is... any exposed skin
will be subject to frostbite in less than 3 minutes or so...
if you are standing still. If you are moving, like on skis or
snowboard, any exposed skin will be subject to frostbite
in seconds.
Above we referred to even a "Sliver" or very narrow strip
or gap of exposed skin and that specifically refers to examples
like the "Sliver" of exposed skin on your forehead between the
brow of your helmet and the frame of your goggles.
Years ago, on a day like today, one of our members here was skiing
blissfully bundled up with boot warmers, layers upon layers, gloves
inside mittens, etc., etc. At lunch, with all the gear removed, there
it was... an eighth of an inch strip, right across the forehead where
the cold had found a tiny gap, and at skiable airspeed through this cold,
that small amount of skin was frostbitten. Two weeks later you could
still see the line of peeled, damaged recovering skin.
Please be careful, if you have little kids, be really careful. You may even
want to defer your start time for a while this morning. Things will be warming
up over the morning until we reach a projected daytime high of -18C at
about 2:00 P.M. or so.

Once you're all bundled up and ready to venture out...
You'll find this, "Rope Tow" just off the the Summit and under the
Lowell Thomas Triple Chair.

the fact that the Skiing and Boarding are
exceptionally fine!
If you're reading this from far away, or you've got a bit
of a wait before you can make it, your benefit from
all of this is that when you do get here, the deep frost
that nights like this put into the Mountain insures the
durability of an absolutely, without question, high quality
base that will endure for the whole season.
"Lord Willing", we'll have a fairly comprehensive Pic.file Apres Ski
this eve., thanks for your visit whenever you can make it.
