While the wind howls in one place...
There are other sheltered spaces where the scene looks

it's not quite to the "Blizzard" depth we were hoping for. Non-the-less,

of what we might call the Middle of the upper North between the
Duncan and Lowell Thomas sectors. Banzai, Marie-Claude Asselin (MCA
to locals) and Le Tunnel are all scheduled to come on line, making this
another reason for "exceptional" when describing this season and the early
dates for these openings.

37(*) Open trails on the very windy, blustery
Snowy Winter slopes at Tremblant.
The Official Snow Report has stated that very high wind related
safety issues require Mountain guests to shuttle to the North
to access the Summit this morning.
Unfortunately, the weather system that has been making it's way
across this part of the East Coast for the past day has caused lift
operational glitches yesterday and today.
"Bad" winter weather is never anything we're afraid of though,
because it typically includes "Snow". That makes these conditions
right now a "Mixed Blessing" meaning that the lift inconvenience
is at least offset by the benefit of the snow and besides, there's
not much that can be done when Mother Nature decides to create
a "Wind Tunnel Effect".
It will create some backfill drifting on the North and maybe even a
lot of backfill drifting, so things may get very, very good in some
sectors as a result of all this.
Let's Talk About The Weather...
BLIZZARD! ... well at least that's what we're hoping for...
... and the reason we think that's a very high probability is:

Temps today should stay nicely sub-zero with a trending upward
over the next day. South Resort base levels should not go much
above -4C and even if it goes up to -1C or heaven forbid, maybe
zero or + 1or 2 C tomorrow, the Summit should stay below zero all
along due to its higher elevation.
