Conditions 3/21/09

Post by T360 »

.

Officially, Tremblant has 76 open Trails this morning,
but as usual with Spring conditions, that could change
on the go during the day.

It is going to be another flawless sunny Spring day
with an added bonus...



SUPER DEMO DAY>>> SOUTH SIDE BASE


Be sure to check out not only the latest snow sports
technology, but the great deals as well!

A few words about natural spring snow
and daily conditions cycles.


In the mornings we will typically see the "firm", or frozen
surfaces that will naturally occur after the overnight
sub zero temps, but it does not take too long for the sun,
working in overdrive, to put heat into the surface by
either direct solar radiation or by the warm air masses
that are floating around as the day progresses.

The result is the "Magic Hour(s)" that occur when our
surface conditions transition from frozen to soft.
The secret to using "Magic Hour" is knowing where
to go to get the nice soft grippy snow as it is just
perfect, before the heat really gets to it and makes
it too wet.

As a result of the suns path of rising, crossing the
sky and then setting, it hits the Mountain on a
predictable, rotating basis.

Runs like Geant, on the North Side get this solar energy
first, then the aptly name"Soleil" side gets the most
direct mid-day sun, and finally, the sun sets in the
West over McCulloch which by now, toward the end
of the day, not only has the direct sunlight, but also
has the now warm air on it as well. You will find that
the "locals" will typically follow the good conditions
of this pattern and so can everyone else who understands it.

The Mountain Crews will groom runs that will respond
to surface conditioning to produce not only smoothness,
but as loose and granular a surface layer is possible.
They will also periodically move snow from some areas
with deeper reserves to cover other areas that either
get more wear because of traffic or sun.

The "firm" morning conditions are always "Fast", so
speed control is essential for everyones safety. You need
to ALWAYS use caution and be able to "Stop on a Dime”.
There are beginners, intermediates and experts out there
that can make mistakes and if you are not careful at all
times, accidents can happen.

Tremblant360 supports “Super Demo Days” because
NOTHING can substitute for actual “on the snow”
performance. We think it is a crime that so many ski
“consumers” end up with a choice from the Big-Box-Co.
Sporting Goods Store where some nice kid with a dragon
tattoo plugs your stat’s into a formula that spits out
the “right” ski.

Any time you can make it to Super Demo Day is a step
forward in your personal skiing optimization. Period.
