One more cool Morning, a Very Brief Sunny beginning and a revised
Onset of Snowfall at around Noon.
Mother Nature has one again done what she likes best… blown away the
forecasted overnight low which reached -25 C and at this stage is -23 C.
The Super Cool, Ultra Dry effects of the -25 C will produce some Truly
Exceptional Conditions this morning at First Tracks. Other than the
Corduroy will get Skied out by mid-morning, the exceptional qualities
of Groomed Grip and Traction will last all day to Last Run.
Cloud Cover is building rapidly as Temps rise and Snow is headed our way.

wind-blown exposure of 48 hours ago, most of which should be fairly
well Groomed out by now. Traffic could uncover them as the day goes on,
so just be observant for wear patterns and maintain safe speed accordingly.
The total Weather picture for Today and Saturday has become more
complex by the convergence of 2 significant systems.
Number 1 is the tail end of the Big Snow that ran through just South of us
over the past 36 hours or so, which is dragging up a bunch of warm air
from Texas behind it.
Number 2 is the Snow System that’s moving in across Northern Ontario, as in
above Lake Superior(The 1000 Kilometre Long Great Lake Superior that is the
largest body of Fresh Water on Planet Earth) crossing such noteworthy
communities as Wawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, North Bay, Ottawa,
then over Tremblant.
There is a diagonal line, imaginary at this point, that is forecast to run
pretty much from Ottawa somewhere diagonally around 40 to 50 KM
South of Tremblant.
Below that line will see more Heat. Above that line will see less heat and more Snow.
When we put up the Long Term Forecast 3 days ago, the mix between the 2
systems was more defined, cold above, warm below, but at this point, the
clear definition is less certain and we may see some warm swirls of just
above Zero for a few hours, mostly at night, before sunrise, on Saturday.
Todays Skiing and Boarding will be Winter into Spring, and the Winter
part comes first and hopefully will include about 15 CM’s of Snowfall.
First Tracks was supposed to see somewhere around -17 C, but even
if it is a fair bit cooler, it should still rise fairly steadily to -9 C by Noon
when the cloud builds sufficiently to start generating Snowfall. From there,
it keeps on rising to -4 C by Last Run.
Winds forecast to be Sou-East to South, so crossing from Duncan
towards Nansen at Moderate Speeds. The Summit may see some
gusting, but a lot less than recent.
Today is definitely going to Start Like January and hopefully end like
March, a Great “Something for Everyone" Winter Day!

Additional Weather Notes: Due to the closeness of the Forecasted Temp blip
above Zero during the Snowfall period, Weather Models indicate the possibility
of a precipitation mix that could include rain.
In our Opinion, if the Temp’s are within the projected 2 to 4 C range,
there is a very high probability that on the Mountain itself, this could
all be Snow due to the Elevation Differential that means lower
temps by as much as 4 or 5 C. If this typical pattern becomes the actual,
there could be some really exceptional March Powder.
With the Temps stable Sub-Zero immediately following this weather event,
the next 5 days hold great promise for continued Excellent Winter Skiing/Boarding.
