...Perhaps this Pic. will give you some idea about the “Wind Factors
At, Or Over Crests” we write about in the Orig. Post Below.

No matter what Sector you’re in at Tremblant, the Quality of the Snow Surfaces are
very similar in performance.

It Is Not Quite Perfect... after all, we are talking about a force of almost
infinite power and variability, i.e., “Mother Nature”, and the combination
of factors that include Human induced use and wear elements...
But it is Very Very Very Fine and within the context of the above noted
naturally occurring phenomenon.... still holding @ Excellent.
The “Not Quite Perfect” part includes primarily Wind and Traffic related
erosion for/maybe, about 20 metre's on, at, or just below Crests like the
very top of Duncan or Lowell Thomas... where the force of the wind is
concentrated in a narrow zone that also happens to be where there’s
some major traffic concentrations too.
We think none of those places that would fit that description should be included
in the Trail assessment summary because they are access utility points, not
places that you talk about in terms of Open Trail Terrain.
They are Short, and easily traversed with slow, cautious speed, and once
you pass over them, it’s 95% Clear Sailing.
No doubt, it’s a utility benefit when those spots can be maintained in an ideal
groomed state, but that’s not really realistic when there’s a direct wind exposure
combined with Thousands of daily traffic passages as Skiers and Boarders make
their way onto the main Trail Array over the course of a 8 Hour day.
In this Example below... we’re looking up Duncan from the Side Door Entrance
from the Mid-Lowell Thomas Cat Track that Traverses laterally across to the
entrance to Devils River.

You can see the horizontal bright fuzzy-like bands of Wind-Driven Snow being pushed
up the Mountain to focus at the narrow Summit Zone. The Skiing on the pitch is best
on the edges and this pic. illustrates that very well
Other than all that... and put into positive context.... It’s Damn Near Perfect.
If you are a Certified, True, Alpine Winter Snow Sport Enthusiast, we are
confident you are already in agreement. With so much “Winter” at hand,
how could you not be?
This stretch of Winter Weather is well on it’s way to being statistically the
longest sustained sequential days of 24/7 Sub-Zero Ever Recorded.
The Benefits to Tremblant Ski and Board Conditions is undeniable Quality
over the entire Trail inventory that is not only the consequence of the consistent
weather, but the “Magic” ingredient, the skilled daily refinements of Tremblant’s
“Best Of Breed”, Mountain Operations Group. The talented members of this
Outstanding Team work together, and all night long, to provide Guests with
Mile after Mile, Kilometre after Kilometre of absolutely superb Groomed Corduroy

If you are a member of the “Glass Half Full Club”, we don’t think you could see it
any other way.
