T360 Late Eve., Apres Ski Update @ 9:45 P.M.
At 5:45 P.M. in our Early Apres Ski Edit, regarding
the dropping temp’s, we wrote:
"we’re figuratively at least, half-way back to winter,
enough so that Mountain Crews will at some near-term
future time, maybe even tonight, re-start Snowmaking.”
We’re pleased to report...
Starting at the Summit, where it’s coolest...
The Lights are on... and the Snow is Flyin’ !!!! This is the big pedestal mounted
Turbo Snowmaker at the Summit Intersection of La Crete and Beauchemin. This style
of Snowmaker has a light that indicates it’s on. The TGV Quad Summit off-load zone is
to far left of this POV.

A Second Summit POV below, shows Mountain Crews operating a Pinroth Bison
Groomer/Packer as they Groom surfaces for tomorrow morning. Integrating
fresh Snowmaking into the surfaces should significantly accelerate the restored
quality after the recent “Warm”.

These next two are certainly not fancy, but the tell-tale Turbo Snowmaker
Lights are on and you can see the gun blast fanning out through the lights.
The important point with both of them is that the temp’s are cold enough to
Make Snow all the way down, from Summit-to-Base!
The first one is from the South Base sector, Top of Johannsen, Versant Sud,
South Resort Base, looking up from beside Le Shack. There are two Pedestal
mounted Turbo Guns here.

at the Versant Nord, North side Base level, between the Expo Quad base
and the Duncan Quad Base.

“Half-Way Back To Winter!!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
T360 Early Apres Ski Edit @ 5:45 P.M.
Everybody’s worried about the Weather...
We’re not.
It’s not that it’s ideal weather either, it’s that with the falling below zero
temps now coming back into play, we’re figuratively at least, half-way
back to winter, enough so that Mountain Crews will at some near-term
future time, maybe even tonight, re-start Snowmaking.

There’s no doubt that after roughly two days of warm, damp, occasionally
wet conditions that tonights forecasted low temp at -3C is going to freeze things up,
however, “Icy” is way better than “Gone”, and Mountain crews can restore shred-able
loose top layers to the first degree, overnight, especially where they can supplement
surfaces with additional Snowmaking.
Ya Gotta Remember... there are many regional Ski Areas that aren’t open yet at all,
or have far less than the lucky Guests at Tremblant.
----------------- 8:29 A.M. Orig. Post -------------------
15(*) Open Trails on Versant Sud, South, Versant Nord, North sides of #Tremblant,
including Summit-To-Base on both.
Once you get by the cosmetic expectations of “Winter Alpine Snow Sports”
environments as being an ideally covered Snow White Wonderland...
What all dedicated Skiers/Boarders need to keep in mind is the
actual Skiing and Boarding are clinically good Spring conditions,
regardless of the background colours.

"Keep your eye on the ball"... an expression we use to remain focused on the
most important point without being distracted or put off by irrelevant background
detail. The Open Trails are White... Keep your eye on the ball...

Those that show up to take advantage of that are those with truly serious dedication,
the "Ski/Board in any weather” crowd that we are proud to call ourselves members of.
What can you say when Mother Nature plays her Weather Trump Cards?
In the case of Tremblant Fans, we can say... “We’re Still In The Game!!!” ... which
is quite significant compared to the folks attached to other Ski/Board areas right
now that are still closed.
So, as Tens of Thousands of anxious North-Eastern Regional Ski/Board Fans are sitting
at “TheirTown” fearfully looking out their windows at “Green”, Tremblant Fans are
“Still In The Game”...
If you want to Ski or Board, you can do that right now at Tremblant, on very good
early season snow surfaces and quite simply, all you need to do is get here.
Worth Traveling For...
Dedicated Ski/Board Fans are never put off by the background colours on the path
to the slopes. What they care about is the quality of those precious white trails
that are on the “Open” list and Tremblant scores BIG in that department. If there’s
a way to the top with trails on the “Open” list, you know there will be sweet spots of
fine performance that you can count on at Tremblant. Period.

As the major summary point, what we’re hoping for is a “Half-Way” return to
Winter, in that the overnight lows are forecast to be Sub-Zero on the Mountain
from this eve. onward, possibly facilitating extensive (weather permitting) Snowmaking.
Thanks for visit. Our intension is to add as much as we can about any positive
factors related to recovery, enhancement and expansion of Open Terrain that
become available on a 24hr basis, so drop back any time you can for updates.
