The basic descent path offered on Soleil is Franc Sud to Toboggan to Tapecul.
This new terrain is going to help spread Mountain traffic loads out over another
Summit-to-base descent option and in doing so, we’re predicting better all day
quality for the entire range of Open terrain.
In Addition To The New Open Terrain...
Trails like Versant Nord, North Side Beauchemin are reaching new levels
of surface consistency, width, and smoothness.

The refinement levels on the previously Open Terrain will be raised
as the incremental benefits of another nights Grooming cycle help to
compact and stabilize the soft natural snow that fell in the Blizzard of
48 hours ago.

Winds Westerly at these moderate speeds crossing the Summit from Taschereau
towards Lowell Thomas could generate some very beneficial Drift-in on North
Summit Sectors as well as over towards the Edge Sector.
There’s another 3 days of cloudy forecast with tomorrow and Saturday both
having similar Snowfall to today, so there could be another quite nice
accumulation before a return to Sunshine on Monday.
Conditions Notes:
The Vast Majority Of The Groomed Terrain Should Be In Excellent Shape.
After two post-blizzard days, nightly grooming cycles will have compacted
and stabilized most of the regularly maintained Green/Beginner, Blue/Intermediate
trails and they will be a joy to be on. The more Open Trails there are, the
better things remain in all-day consistency so as Mountain Crews add more
and more, generally you’ll find a higher degree of sustained "user friendly”
in surface characteristics every day.
On the Un-groomed Experts Only Terrain, caution must be used at all times
as Natural Hazards and Loose Debris may be encountered without warnings
particularly when there’s so much loose snow being pushed around that can
cover those hazards, making them difficult to anticipate.
-------------------- Conditions Caveat(s) ------------------
Realistically Speaking, all the new snow is wonderful, however the base is
still comparatively thin so caution is warranted in zones where there are
traffic concentrations such as Trail entrances, intersections, exits, run-outs
as well as over crests and on some steeper pitches. Any of these zones can
reveal slick or icy substrates. Wear can also expose natural debris hazards
especially on un-grromed Experts Only Open Terrain.
Use Reduced Speed On Initial Explorations and be aware that conditions can
and do change during the day as trail use creates wear related hazards.
Recent Deep, Soft, Natural Snowfall is subject to Mogul Formations below
crests and on steeper pitches which may not be visible until the last moment
so we encourage absolute speed control appropriate for Line-of-sight navigation,
i.e., if you can’t see over a crest, slow down before, and until you can verify
safe passage with a clear view.

As Winter finally decides to settle in, Tremblant Mountain Crews can now
begin to catch up with both refinement and expansion. Additional New,
Fresh Snowfall enhances all these processes and we anticipate a steady
increase in the Open Trail Count.
