Surfaces, and the still very deep frost supporting the Snow Surfaces from below the
top layers, created a day of almost perfect Spring.
Wall-To-Wall Coverage seems bizarre on April 7th, but there it is!
Absolutely incredible smoothness with not hardly so much as a pebble
or a stick to take anything away from fields of beautifully Snow White Scenery!
The Odd Glitch...??? Sure, but very small and virtually inconsequential
compared to the 95% near perfect majority of the Groomed Terrain.
North, South, All Good!

It Looks Like Winter and It Skis Like a Mix of Winter and Spring...

because of the feedback we’ve been hearing about the Icy mix in current conditions.
1) Todays Conditions in relation to the current Season.
2) Todays Conditions in relation to any other Season at this date.
Regarding #1...
History will show that the Record Setting Cold Winter Weather of this Season
generated equally record setting levels of quality in the day-to-day consistency
of Conditions here at Tremblant. We’ve gotten used to that. By logical extension,
being used to the very highest quality over the very longest time, resets the
personal reference for “Normal”. If you look back through this diary, one way we
expressed it several times during Mid-Winter was “Average Is Excellent”.
When “Spring” finally arrived, the return to more historically normal weather
patterns has brought us back to the realities where Sweet Spots are more
individual compared to recently having and extended time period where
the Whole Mountain has been a sweet spot. We need to get used to that too.
Regarding #2... If you look back at this time period through the years this record
spans, you will see that in several cases, by this date there were Seasons where
we had already experienced days of 20+C for several weeks by this time and we
were still very happy and content to enjoy those conditions enthusiastically.
Compared to some of those seasons and days, we have substantially better
coverage and quality today.
The Bottom Line on this “Perspectives” Point...
To Those who may be concerned with the conditions,i.e., the “Feedback”
we’ve been hearing on the Icy Bits... there is still an astounding level of
coverage that has rarely ever been seen for this time period and adapting
to the effects of very normal Temp Swings of Spring is a lot easier when there’s
so much to choose from.
You’ll Always feel a lot better if you get to Tremblant for some “Fresh Air”...

Above: It’s not ideal for either contrast or focus(a long telephoto in flat, grey light),
but we caught this Last Run moment on Mid-Johannsen and just couldn’t throw it away.
Moguls are no problem for those who know what to do!
On a purely functional level... we rode up Duncan yesterday with a very friendly
regular from Ottawa who was generally quite positive, but did feel that it would
be beneficial to have a Tuneup on his Skis.
We could not agree more. When there’s any kind of “Solid” or “Icy” in the conditions
mix, your best friends are Sharp Fresh Edges. In the very forgiving Excellence
of the pure Snow Base over the heart of this season, those edges may have been
a little less critical because there was just no ice at all for so long you could
get away with that. Now that we’re into the Spring cycles of above and below
freezing, if you want maximized performance and utility, tuned gear is essential.
We Told Him ... GoTo Le Ski Shop in the Chalet du Voyageurs, Cabriolet Base,
adjacent to P1.
We tell everyone the same thing. The Very Experienced Tech’s there use the only
Wintersteiger II in Canada, arguably the finest CNC Automated Ski Tuning Machine
IN THE WORLD... and their “Overnight” discount rate is the “Tuneup” Value of the decade.

gently Hone the edges rather than the more normal Stone Grinding done
at “Yourtown” and it’s sensors are capable of edge bevel to 1/10th of a degree,
so it is literally 10 times more adjustment sensitive than any other Ski tuner
we are aware of.

Super Spring Soft after lunch.
Mountain Crews Have Had Another All-Night-Shift, Grooming/Surface Refinement Cycle,
In which case, it could all add up to be an exceptionally fine afternoon!
