------------ T360 Apres Ski Season Apres Ski, Under Progressive Construction @ 9:17 P.M. -------------
The Weather Factors For Today Did Not Look Promising,
and indeed, there were a few “challenges”(#),
However....
Whatever Ends Up Looking Like This Looks Good to Us!

(#) A few challenges... No doubt, the combination of last
nights rain, together with the 19C drop in temps to Sub-Zero C’s
over Mountain elevations certainly caused a loss of safely
openable terrain on this final day of the season, but...
what was open was super-smooth and eventually, like by
just before noon hour, quite a bit had developed from
solidly froze to thin but skiable soft top layers.
One of the collateral effects of the odd weather byproducts
was very low attendance. The bottom line on that was that
if the weather did put you off attending, that was an
understandable, but in our opinion, unfortunate mistake.
Even though the terrain was quite limited, and to only groomed,
it nevertheless turned out to be a rewarding “technical” day
that had excellent workout value, especially considering we
don’t get to ski again for 7 months.
For sure, on the surface, literally, solid groomed is not
everyones cup of tea, and we can completely see why
for some it would not be ideal, but the hand of Mother
Nature holds all the cards and Mountain Crews did a
fabulous job of rendering smooth which makes anything
else 100 times easier to deal with.
With a “Lets Make The Best Of It...” positive attitude, really
sharp edges on the old Atomic Race SL’s, plus the widespread
eventual softening, we ended up having a wonderful time, and
a quad burning aerobic lapping day. The vast majority of open
coverage was still winter wall-to-wall and with the easy ability
to engage full-tilt carving on virtually empty slopes, it was a
very satisfying way to end up the season.

If you considered the day on nothing other than it’s iconic
Tremblant scenic magnificence, it was awesomely spectacular
with all manner of big sky winter weather drama, rather like
a flashback to mid-March.
More to follow as time permits...

The Yin/Yang Of The Seasons End...
A Classic Tremblant Big Sky Closing Spring

Followed By...
However... for today, Sunday, specifically, a bit of an odd turn-around
because after yesterday when the Summit got up to +16C, this
morning the Summit is at -3C and it’s SNOWING!
So...
The Laws Of Physics Apply.

Of Course... It’s not like this everywhere, but the fact
that it exists anywhere, let alone an entire upper
Mountain sector, is a fantastic tribute to an exceptional
level of end-of-season natural snowpack retention and
available, open, Sous Bois closing weekend quality.
----------------------------
Conditions Notes:
Generally:
Due to massive drop in temps from +16C to -3C
over Mountain elevations, together with overnight
rain along the way... obviously huge re-froze
potential complications.
Many, many wild cards as temps could, maybe,
possibly, might, theoretically, get up enough to
soften... later, maybe a lot later.
You’ll need to be ready for anything/everything!
Sharp Edges Your Best Friends!!!
In the meantime, consult with Summit Info.Ski Crews.
Wooo Hooo!!! Welcome Back For A Final Taste Of Winter!
One thing for sure... it gunna be FAST!
Please Note:
With the almost endless possible variables, the high
value focus needs to be on the Apres Ski reporting,
so please check back as we try to get in enough field
work to comprehensively document conditions as
they are, following later on.

Bring Back The Memories... 
Research Future Visits... If you would like to look up dates you visited Tremblant, or you
want to research days/weeks/months to visit, you can sample what
they look like historically, month by month, year by year.
When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived pages,
you can use the “Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.
There are approximately 6, 25 day Index pages per season.
If you “Bookmark" the link above, it will always take you to theFirst index page with the latest posts. That gives you an immediate,
current to 25 day past, review scroll of Winter Alpine Conditions by
consecutive date.
