Conditions are literally getting better by the hour,
and they were great to begin with.
The Tremblant Mountain Crews have been working
around the clock to take advantage of almost ideal
snowmaking conditions to produce very fine quality
blown snow to blend with the recent natural.
From a skiers perspective, the results are outstanding.
We think the main reason for that is the ambient air
temp is cold enough to very quickly crystalize the
blown snow so that it is hitting the ground as a very
dry snow crystal.
The traction and grip of the current Tremblant surfaces
is very even over the groomed trails on all 4 sides. There may
still be the odd slick glitch, but those are in the obvious
high traffic, intersections or run-outs, so they're no
problem if you are paying attention in those zones.
For newly opening groomed terrain, we see run preparation
occurring in stages over 2 or 3 days to generate a finished
surface ready for us to Ski or Board on.
Sissy Schuss is a prime example of that. The ropes were down
on the side door entrance to Sissy Schuss from halfway down
Gagnon on Wednesday, the surface was smooth, but made up of
quite large chunks. By Thursday morning, this sector's surface was
as fine as white Caribbean beach sand, just perfect.
For ungroomed terrain such as Banzai's bottom
portion that re-opened yesterday, there can only be one thing
that really helps and that's the natural snow we've gotten this week.

11CM of Snow in the last week but if you look carefully at the tracks
down the left side of Banzai above, you can see its quite a bit deeper
than that. This is the "Blowing and Drifting" factor we often speak about.
