Forum Archive Review,
Utility Hint:
A quick note to those who want to research specific weeks, months
or any number of sequential days in this Forum archive....
When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived index pages,
you can use the "Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.
There are 25 days on each index page and there are approximately 6
index pages per season, depending on the variable number of days
in each season. So basically, if you want to look at the same time frame
from year to year, you can just move back 6 index pages from where-ever
you are and you'll be in roughly the same dates.
Additional pictures from our Photo library
from the closing days of this season.
This thread is loosely formatted in 3 posts(so far)...
The first starts with a few of closing day itself...
The second is a bunch of North Park snap shots...
(Are you in the picture?)
The third is more random pic's from closing week...
(in no particular order. We may add more if we find
other ones we really like. We may also add
additional replies attached below if time permits)
Above: We had put this one on the Facebook page from
a larger pic.flie than these forums will support, so it's
been re-sized for inclusion here. The main reason the
file was so large is the complexity of the background
and the abundance of snow, all of which require a lot
to record.
What we like, of course, is all the snow. If you have not
yet read through the actual April 9th Post, you can go there
to see more on just how much it snowed... a lot, and
that made it a very special day.
Below: Looks like mid-winter, but it's closing day.
If you could put the thoughts of "Over" out of your
head, the enjoyment of a fine snowy day was just
as the same as mid-winter too. Above: We're always fascinated by the ongoing work
of Mother Nature on even the smaller scales and we
think that's where there's incredible beauty in both the
shapes and colours. These tree-bourne mosses are
photo-sensitive, meaning they respond to the sun by
facing the light source. So, if you see them trail-side
in the morning facing the sun in the east, you can go
back in the afternoon and find them facing west.
Above: No line-ups at all on closing day, and with the
quiet ambiance of the snowfall, a very private experience
for those lucky people who could make it out.
Below:
Moving back to earlier days in the final closing week...
Please note month/day/yr date codes for individual pic's.
Even though Beauvallon was getting the "Micro-Wave on High"
solar setting, there was enough base to keep it near wall to wall
with complete coverage. There was a definite "Sweet Spot" time wise, when the firmness
of overnight lows gradually gave way to the mid-day sun.
We've seen closing days with far less snow than we had this
year. We feel that was a combination of the thick base and
the heavy sustained frost of mid-winter that allowed a high
level of surface retention, despite the heat. The Yin and Yang of a Spring week... Very "Spring"!
while a few meters away, it looked like this....
Spring Learning There were a surprising number of people in lessons
durring closing week this season. For the most part,
surfaces were soft, but because the over-nights had been
below freezing, they were not unduly mushy and as
a learning environment, they were easy to manoeuvre in.
More to follow, including a bunch more North Park Trick Shots...


If you would like to look up dates you visited Tremblant, or you
want to research days/weeks/months to visit, you can sample what
they look like historically, month by month, year by year.
