It was a good day with a lot of fresh snow around, some breezes and a lot
of Weekender Traffic. The combination of those three things did create some
zones of slickness and even some Icy bits.

Snowfall made Automatic Camera Settings difficult, particularly in the
focus utilities. Sorry for the soft focus on this one below, but it still shows
the very healthy nature of the current Tremblant Shred Depth average.
The tricky part, if you could call it that, was identifying the few Slick/Icy bits
along the route.

this evening, because with all the new snow being the primary part of the top
layers, ideal compaction seems at least 1 or 2 Night-shifts away, so every
Overnight Cycle is going to help settle the new snow into place. One way to
summarize might be to say it’s a situation of integration between Old Base
and New Snow, or something like that.
The interesting thing for tomorrow then, will be how much Grooming Mountain
Crews can get done with packing and levelling out the thicker bits.

Overcast, Snowfall, Daytime High at -6C. Should be a Light Traffic, Super Smooth
Snow White, Easy Winter Day!
Still Very Fine Conditions that should respond very favourably to typical
Post Snowfall Grooming Schedules.

that you can attach “Winter” to, in terms of Outdoor Sporting Activity.
Of course we have every intention of remaining firmly fixed on Skiing/Boarding
Alpine Snow Sports, but we realize that in the Big Picture, there are others who
Love Winter as much as we do but somehow find other Sporting pursuits they
prefer, and it is therefore entirely appropriate to acknowledge that things like
Frozen Lake Kite Flying, or Nordic Ski Touring, Snowshoeing, Ski-Doo Safari’s,
Winter Trail Hiking, Skating, Hockey, or even Knitting a Sweater beside a cozy
warm fireplace, might be your Winter passion.
The point is... You’ll find pretty much what-ever Winter Things You want to do,
right here at Tremblant.

We see all kinds of Clubs, Groups and Organizations Racing all over Tremblant’s
Very Fine Slopes, so it’s also fair to point out that if you belong to an organization
that travels to participate in Outdoor Winter Activities, Skiing/Boarding in particular,
Tremblant offers arguably the finest Venue for Hosting such Affairs as can be found
just about anywhere.

Big, Phat, Phluffy, Phlakes are gently tumbling down covering everything
in sight with a beautiful soft coat of Dry, Cold-Formed Snow.
The Weather Network Tremblant Local Forecast Says It’s Supposed
To Snow Like This For The Next 30 Hours.
Below: Summit Views over the past few days have had many of these similar
Snow Squall Views.
It’s been fascinating to see these bands of very active Snowfall approaching,
and then passing over, each one leaving more, and more Snow on Tremblant’s
Trail Network.

There’s lots of Fresh Snow and the top layers are soft with very good Shred
Depth. The abundance of recent snow means the density of groomed surfaces
are not yet at levels that multiple packing cycles will render, but it is all still easy
and very forgiving.
Expert Un-Groomed:
Loose, Fresh Powder Snow of Variable Depths and Density.
(Intense Snowfall is Excellent for Ski/Board Conditions,
not so great for photography... we’ll take that challenge smiling any day.)

can answer almost any Tremblant Mountain Utility Related Question
you may have.
We ask them questions on a regular basis about current Trail or Lift
status, particularly if there are any Weather circumstances that
might alter normal operations.
These Crew Members are a huge asset for New or Infrequent Guests
that can benefit from Local, Up-To-The-Minute Knowledge. They can really
help maximize time efficiency and Safety for all Skill Levels by making
suggestions for locating and getting to Terrain that is appropriate and we
recommend talking to them about seeking out your specific Terrain Preferences
whenever you get here.
You can Find Them All Over The Mountain... but one of the best places to consult
with them is at the Summit, right next to the Gondola Off-Load Zone.

excellent prospects for all future Tremblant Trip Planners.
