“Tremblant, The Peak Of Eastern Skiing!” is a Double Entendre signifying
The Quality of Tremblant’s Geographical Existence as the Finest of Peaks, as in
Mountain Peak, PLUS the the Fineness of Tremblant’s Conditions as in “The Peak
Of Perfection”, signifying the Quality of Conditions.
Of Course... The Essence of any reference to “Peak” in Winter starts with the
very most basic raw ingredient, “Snow”, and there’s no doubt Tremblant has
TONS of Snow, further to which we respectfully submit...
Another Two Part “Proof Of Snow”...
((**)Actually, you could include the third pic. below as an
additional reference scale for the Skis used in Part 1 and 2.)
T360 3.2.16, "Proof Of Snow”, Part 1.

Those Skis Are 165 cm’s, Atomic Race, D2, SL’s.
For our U.S. Cousins... the Ski Poles are 48” Kerma Corrective Angle’s.
As you can see, one Ski is straight into the Snow with the tip just above the surface.
The other Ski is tossed into the Soft Snow behind the vertical one and it
has been all but buried by it’s own weight into the Fluffy, Light, Dry Powder Snow.
Now comes Part 2, but first... Part 1 is Necessary so you can relate specifically
to the Ski Tip of the vertical Ski Visible. Without Part 1, you might not recognize
the shape at the depth of the same Ski Tip pictured in Part 2.
In Part 2, the Ski tip has been pushed below the surface because it can be.

There’s that much depth of Snow. Actually, it could have been pushed further in,
but then it would have disappeared altogether and we thought we should leave
a sliver of visible Ski to verify it’s depth into this Versant Nord Drift-Line.
We’ve been doing these whacky “Proof Of Snow” pic’s for many seasons using
Skis of a known length to measure Snow Drifts, but we’re not sure we’ve ever
seen such a radically accumulated difference in 10 days ever before.
There are very, very deep Snow Drifted Deposits in many areas within the Open Terrain
and this is a sample of one that’s in excess of 170 cm’s.
Once all this gets Groomed in... the scope of Surface coverage and quality may well
be in the top handful of the very best seasons we’ve ever seen.
What a Fabulous, Spectacular Come-Back for a Season that started out less than ideal.
So then, Lets move from the “Raw” Ingredient above, directly to the “Finished Product”
you’ll enjoy tomorrow morning, pictured here below....

(**)These are the same 165 cm's Skis that are buried straight down,
below the Snow Surface of the 2 Part “Proof Of Snow”.
There will be Miles and Miles, Kilometres and Kilometres of some of the very best
Groomed Terrain anywhere in the known Ski World, right here at Tremblant, Tomorrow.
Are you here for it?
Otherwise, the Softness of the New Snow allowed Mogul Formation to occur just
about everywhere today... There were even some Mogul zones on
P’tit Bonheur, a Very Rare Phenomenon. It was a workout that would
make any gym on the planet look like a child’s sand box. From that standpoint,
you’ll see a big, big increase in All-Day Smoothness tomorrow with the additional
compaction of another Night Shift of Grooming using 12,500 Lbs. BR350’s
that have the sheer weight to bear down on this fluffy stuff and get it to
a higher level of density, and consequently, stability.
It stayed Snowy at Summit Levels, on and off mostly all day...

More later if time permits, but seriously... We hope you can get back to Tremblant
for this, you really need to see all this snow for yourself, you need to Ski/Board
this snow for yourself... It's Absolutely Wonderful.

Speaking of “Hazardous Driving”...
One of the most Practical Questions this morning is...
Can You Actually Get Here?

So Near, and Yet So Far(away)...
Driving Unsafe? ... How about just “Driving” at all?
Roads may be closed... Accidents “May” happen... Plows may not be able to
keep up, and furthermore, the Snowbanks were already 4, 5 feet tall, the roads
were already a couple of feet narrower on each side, BEFORE, so where will they
be able to pile it all up at?
Furthermore again... parking lots were approximately 30%(by square area),
Piled Up Snowbanks BEFORE all this Blizzards Worth of MORE SNOW.
Where’s all that going to go? We would not be surprised to see localized
“States Of Emergency” as Municipalities try to cope with Snow Logistics
that are quickly becoming close to overwhelming.
Power may go out... We’ve already had Internet Fails this morning... so far brief,
but heavy snow can take out both power and data lines, so ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
But... Let’s say you can safely make it to the Mountain...
Stat’s say 31 cm’s of Fresh, New, Blizzard Quality Snowfall...
but we can TELL YOU FOR A FACT...
With the light to moderate Overnight East-Nor-East Wind,
There Will Be Drifted Zones of Double or More within Summit Sectors,
North Peak Sectors off Expo Quad and Edge. There may also be significant
Lee Side, Fill-in Drifting on primarily the Right Side Descending, South Side Trails.
Explore Cautiously On Initial Runs...

All Snow... “If” You Can Go!!!
We will make every attempt to post an early before 8:00 P. M. Apres Ski
and we are now going to also attempt to extricate the vehicle from the
big mound of snow where we think it is under, followed by an attempt
to reach the Mountain and Ski! It should be Fun! ... getting there that is...
