For the first time in several days you
could actually feel Heat in the Sun.

not so cold that staying outside for multiple runs
was unpleasant. You could actually be outside
without undue discomfort, and if you could find a
safe, wind sheltered, sunny, trail-side spot, within
a minute or two you could feel real heat.
For the sake of International Context, there are News stories
on virtually every Broadcast Media about Record Breaking
New Years Eve. Low Temp’s, ever, extending from North Florida
right up the Eastern Seaboard.
Otherwise, fabulous quick surface quality over all 4 corners
of Tremblant with a bit of relief on the comfort scale this afternoon.

93(*) Open Trails on the Continued Cool Slopes at #Tremblant .
Half of North America May Be FFffrrroze Hard...
but the Cryogenic Snow is so good that you can
Carve like a Surgeon with a Sharp Scalpel.
Plus... Temp’s Forecast to Rise 15C during the day.

the Performance is optimal for all Skill Level Rated Terrain.
The Specific Circumstances are that there is a Forecasted Temp.
Rise of 15 Degrees C by just after lunch. So, if you dress for
the initial -33 C it is now, you may find it oddly “Too Hot”
all afternoon.
Our Tip for the day is therefore to plan for attendance at about
10:00 A.M. because by then it should be up about 10C, and the
spread between there @ -22C and the afternoon high temp at -18C,
will be far easier to accommodate.
Amazing to think that -18C could be considered “Too Hot” under
any circumstances, but if you’re actually dressed for -30’s, you’ll
find out it is possible.

EXPO, One of the Most Popular Trails At Tremblant Is Winch Groomed
from Top-To-Bottom on the Pitch, and has all the Bumps you
want on either side.

Expo is one of those trails that looks way easier riding up
the lift than it does going down under it. The Whole of
Expo Haut, Upper, is rated as a Double Black Diamond
and it deserves all the respect that would signify, however...
when it is “Winch Groomed”, as it is now, it is actually at
it’s “Easiest” within the range of typical descent quality.
That means that if you find yourself comfortable on Single
Black Terrain, and you are motivated to try Double Black Terrain,
giving Expo a shot today may be a consideration.

Tremblant is Covered with great learning snow
on all sides. This Nord, North example is one
of our fav’s and when you see so many Instructors
on it, it’s evident we’re not the only ones who
appreciate it’s fine, even rhythmic descent line.

Having a recognizable object like a Ski Tip in the picture
helps show scale. We were trying to do that with Expo in
the Background to illustrate the nature of the surfaces,
when out of nowhere...

A golden drop of sun as we head to the top of the North side
Spent the better part of the day cruising the gently rolling
groomers on the North. Deep base especially for this time of
year with plenty of light crisp machine groomed powder to
carve into. No wait times. Followed some great pointers for
staying warm. Relaxed expectations for a high mileage day
and and enjoyed warmth at the North Base and libations at
Grand Manitou. Classic Tremblant.”
