It’s Going to be Quite Cool When You Wake Up Here Saturday Morning.
It’s Forecast to be Quite Cool until about Tuesday Morning...
Make sure you have all your Layers with you.
See all Below for additional detail.
Properly Prepared, if your days so far have been at Blue Mountain(or similar)...
the Skiing and Boarding at Tremblant will be the best you’ve had all season!!!

69(*) Open Trails on all 4 Open, Snow Refreshed Sectors at #Tremblant.

88(*)REVISED Open Trails. Data Attached Below.
The Magic 500!
Actually... 502cm’s Total Season-To-Date Natural Snowfall, but the important point is
any season with over 500cm’s of natural snow is a fantastic season!
Today’s Total Snowfall Accumulation Is Greater Now,
on this March 9, Than 14 of the past 17 Years Seasonal Totals!

Not only will there be some really “Cool”(as in great, fine quality, high performance,
etc., etc.), Ski/Board Conditions, but there’s going to be some really Cool(as in chilly,
well below Zero C) Ski/Board Conditions as Mother Nature presses the “Winter Refresh”
button on the Weather Scale.
The Mountain Needs This Winter Refresh. After a bunch of totally normal Thermal
Spikes this winter, periodic dips into the “Kkkool Zone” are fundamentally essential
to maintain the integrity of the Frost into the Mountain that supports BOTH the Alpine
Snow Sports Trail Network, and the Durable Quality of the Season.
The Seasons Alternating Cycles Of Cool and Warm... have been rather like
your favourite restaurant with a Table d’hôte, a French term meaning a fixed
menu, fixed price, meal special that is offered on a periodic or daily basis.
Each days meal is different but each day’s meal is also complete. Some days, the
meal may be based on Hot and Spicy, some days, the meal could be based on Cool
and Crisp, for only two examples of almost infinite variability.
From a clinical standpoint, there has been more snowfall than necessary to
support great conditions for any of the Warm or Cool periods. To put it in a
historic perspective, if you look back at all the previous seasons recorded in
our archive, each and every one of them has had Excellent Conditions within
those seasons, regardless of total snowfall, so that’s why it’s safe to say Tremblant
can have a very fine season with less snow than the current accumulation.
The difference, the benefits, that a record or near-record Snowfall season like this
one, are typically... 1) in the larger outright square area of the Mountain that can be
Groomed to, and maintained at “Excellent", plus... 2) the durability of both the
base and the groomed maintained terrain in-so-far-as how far it may be sustainable
throughout March, and into April’s closing days.
We already have the first benefit, the larger outright square area, and what we would
want you to focus on are the merits of planning a Tremblant visit... or, re-visit, to take
advantage of the second benefit.
Despite the normally occurring Thermal events, this great abundance of Snow reserve
in the base has allowed it to have tremendous resilience, to “Weather The Storms”,
so-to-speak, and come out with a very wide coverage area, and remain solidly
established. Now, with the prospect of a Winter Re-boot, Tremblant Guests basically
have an extension of this large square coverage area that might not be there the
same way otherwise.
Additionally, because the forecast indicates sequential Sub-Zero days, the Grooming
should be day after day of refinement that will reduce icy anomalies, and with
added new snowfall, generally make all the Open Groomed Terrain incrementally
better.
We Love Winter !!! so, when the Long Range Forecast projects two weeks of
steady, 24Hour Sub-Zero Consecutive Days... We Rejoice!
“If...” the weather actually remains within the forecast parameters, the upcoming
time period could offer some very, very fine Mid-March conditions that might normally
be associated with February. There is definite “Best Of Season” potential in the next
two weeks.
Attention Global Tremblant Fans!

If you are a Regional Tremblant Fan... This is your call to Planning Action!

Any Time There Are Temp Spikes Above/Below Zero C, especially when
there’s been a “Breezy” component, there can and will be some potentially
Icy Bits in the Base.
They Will Be Small Compared To The Overall Fine Quality, and...
they will get smaller as the consecutive days of Grooming refinement
reduce the icy bits and increase the consistency of the shred-able top
layers... PLUS... More Natural Snowfall Forecast!
In any event.. The Overwhelming Quality Factor is going to be “Smooth” within
the Groomed Trail array, however, there will be Wind-Driven or Steep-Pitched
zones of exposed Base that will require fresh or recently tuned Ski/Board
edges for optimal control.
With Appropriately Tuned Gear You Will Have More Fun Than A Barrel Of Monkeys!
Without tuned Gear... outcomes are unpredictable and your performance will be
Sub-Optimal.
Today is also the kind of day that could see meaningful changes in
the Open Trail numbers. After dramatic weather changes EITHER way,
i.e., Up/Down temps, this can happen.
