This Week At Tremblant!
Sunny Or Snowy...
Tremblant Is Spectacular In Any Weather!
This past couple of weeks has seen tremendous advancements in
the seasonal development of both Tremblant's Base and Open Terrain
inventory.
We've endured some really chilly mornings and windy days, but the
benefit we've gotten out of all the weather drama is absolutely suburb
Alpine Trail surfaces for all skill levels in Groomed and Au Naturel!
At 100% Open for the first day, our season is marking an important
milestone of completeness and the Mountain Crews at Tremblant are
to be congratulated for all the hard work they've put in over time
so far and the outstanding results produced.
The Skiing and Boarding have gotten better and better almost daily,
and other than coping with a lot of fresh snow which can take a day
or two to work into the Groomed base, each morning has brought us
some of the finest corduroy groomed surfaces we think you could
find anywhere. The quality of the snow due to the cold temp's that
Mother Nature brought it to us with, is at the very top of desirable
conditions for ease of edging, carving and all other important
control inputs. You can do anything you want within your rated
skill level designated trails and be assured of maximum surface
consistency and minimum glitches or hazards now.
This is not to say that there are no hazards, because there are, and
as long as you're dealing with Mother Nature, there will be, but those
natural hazards have been mostly within the Un-Groomed Experts Only
terrain, or some wide open sectors that have had unavoidable wind exposure,
but they have all been vastly reduced as the base thickness has
gotten deeper and deeper. We're looking forward to even more snowfall
of course, it's only January 21st after all, and we've got weeks and weeks
left of prime natural snow conditions still coming up.
Safety Caveats:
When Does A "Green" Trail Become A "Black" Run?
When The Ski Patrol Says So...
Perhaps the best example of this is the newest trail at Tremblant
right now, Algonquin, over on Versant Soleil. This is a masterpiece
of modern trail design that is a boulevard of cruising heaven...
when it's groomed.
When it's not groomed, like right now, it's for experts only due to
the combination of hazards that can be encountered and the skills
necessary to navigate those conditions.
When you got to Algonquin this past week
you saw signs posted as below... Believe them. A time will come when Mountain Crew determine that
Algonquin should or can be groomed, that's when it's
true character as cruising nirvana will become realized
for not only "Green" level skills, but for everyone right on
up to experts, who appreciate a relaxed run on a perfect surface.
Today's Weather starts out at "Nippy", mid-Minus 20's C but should
quickly rise to -12 C or so under eventual sun, or at least thinning
overcast. Temps are definitely on the rise after tonight though, and
there is even a possibility of a very short "plus", above freezing event
on Monday. At this stage, the above freezing is forecasted to be only by
1 degree and for a few hours and if that's the case, we will not see any
significant effects at all, unless there was a lot of rain.
We'll try to do some more homework on the weather later on, but for now
we've got pure winter to enjoy for the weekend.
