wear spots that need to be navigated.

you'll get the picture of yesterdays surface sample
on lower Nansen which we are calling a "Shred Test".
By extending the outside ski through the turn in an
"outrigger" mode, laying the ski over in the most
angulated edge set possible, you can see how it
carves a clean line demonstrating mechanical grip
on the snow. Simultaneously, you can get an idea of
the depth into the snow that the ski is getting as it
"shreds" or peels the surface away in the course of
its travel over distance. We did this demo over 2 consecutive
runs off the Flying Mile Chair at last run to overlap the
turns for the "Figure of Eight" pattern.
There is no ice in this sample and this is typical of
what we estimate would be over 75% of the groomed
trails. This percentage has been rising every day this
week and with incremental fresh snow for added progress.
We found virtually identical conditions over most of the
Mountain, including one of our North Side favorites, Banzai,
yesterday too.
When almost everyone else on the East Coast is experiencing
a very high level of icy base, this represents the Tremblant
difference. We think the Tremblant Mountain Crews are at the
very top of their craft, and Tremblant guests get the benefit.
While things are getting better every day...
Speed, Control and Conditions Caveat
For All Skill Levels In Effect.
Watch and maintain absolute control of your speed.
Even though there has been tremendous progress with
surface quality for all rated skill levels, there may be
icy glitches that may not be initially visible.
Typically, these areas will be in some high traffic zones
around trail intersections or run-outs to lift zones, or on
the down-side of crest contours or steeper pitches.
You need to explore the Mountain with care and control until
you have verified safe passage for your skill level.
Traffic Notes:
President's Week Holiday attendance means increased awareness of
those around you to ensure adequate space for maneuvering. Watch
out for those who are new to the area and may not be familiar with
things and could make sudden directional changes into your path.

pdf Trail and Grooming status this morning to illustrate the use of
the "Powder Maker" icon in the third "Tick" column. You don't see this
on this report every day and it indicates the trails that Mountain Crews
are working on specifically to increase snowy surface depth.
