12/13/09 Conditions

Post by T360 »

"On and On they went through the night, their shadows moving
along the soft white snow like ghosts rushing towards the darkness."

It was actually a very beautiful night to be out on the 24 Hours at
Tremblant Children's Charity Fundraiser course.

The Temperature was very pleasant right up to the halfway mark.
Standing in the participants transition area, right beside the countdown
timing clock, it actually felt as though it was warming up a bit, but then
within an hour, you could feel the winter come back into it and it did
not take long to realize that things were getting "Crisp". By 1:30 A.M.
it was cold and on came the parkas and any other warmup gear that
was handy.

It was fortunate that the warmth of the evening lasted as long as it did
though, because the Spectator Crowd had great conditions to not only
watch the the laps being clicked off as participants raced through the
timing Start/Finish zone, but the great entertainment that was up on
stage rockin' the night away.

This morning brings us back to mild winter temp's starting off at
around -8C under overcast skies with the possibility of a dusting
of snow and a rise in the temps to just under the freezing mark
at -2C. The winds will be moderate at 10 Km or so from the South,
so as you are standing at the summit, the breezes will be coming
across the Mountain from the Soleil side. This is good news for
everyone on the Mountain today as most activity should be in the
lee of the Mountain. For those not in the 24 Hour event and using
the North Side, while Skiing/Boarding there should not be any real
wind felt, as it will be more or less at your back on decent. You may
feel it a bit as you approach the summit while coming up the North
Side Lifts, particularly near the peak on the Duncan Chair, but the
temps are not really that cold, so it should be easy to handle.

There are 15 open runs shown on the Official http://www.tremblant.ca
Snow Report, but just like yesterday, the South Side runs included are
for the exclusive use of the 24 Hour participants.

Once the event is completed at noon however, with any luck, the barriers
may come down and these beautifully prepared surfaces may be opened
up to the public.

The skiing is very good, all things considered and the Tremblant Mountain
Crews are doing a great job of maintaining surfaces. In the high traffic
zones there are some slick portions, so use all due care and control in
these areas and keep your eyes tuned for beginners particularly around
trail intersections or steep pitches.

You'll have a great day today, just being outside in the fresh air with the
feel of the snow under your skis or boards!

You would not believe the QUALITY of the POWDER SNOW
falling on Tremblant right NOW!


Just after lunch, it unexpectedly began to SNOW.

There was not much wind with it and the accumulation
was quite rapid at the Summit.

This is exactly what we need, a major snowfall without any
wind, so the snow gets deposited on the runs without being
blown into the bush by high velocity winds.

This wonderful, thick, snowfall with those big fat snowflakes
that fill up a lot of space were being equally deposited on both
sides of the summit, but we must say, the North Side was getting
it a bit harder and almost all the way to the bottom.

There was a very nice powder ridge along the left side of Beauchemin,
just below the entrance to the "Edge". It was aprox 50 to 60 turns
long and about up to top of a ski boot cuff. As we went through it the
snow was bouncing up at waist height.

What a difference a day makes!

The South Side opened up after the trails had been cleared by the
Mountain Crews, and it was very fine skiing indeed from top to bottom.

There was a nice powder zone on the left side of Johannsen leading
right to the bottom. Every turn was like being in a bowl of Feathers... Nice!

After such a long wait for the season to start, today was
a real, genuine surprise of Skiing/Boarding excellence and anyone
coming to Tremblant right now is going to be rewarded with fantastic
conditions, considering that regionally, they were still playing Golf 3
or 4 weeks ago.


For sure, we might not have as many runs open as we'd like to see by
this date, but what we do have is very very good and definitely worth
the effort, plus... this new SNOW is nothing short of a treat!
