T360 Apres Midnight, Apres Ski @ 12:52 A.M.
With around 6.5 Feet of Snowfall in 3 weeks...
This Is The Peak Of Eastern Skiing!

Brilliant Sunshine, Cool Temp’s and Very Cool Skiing/Boarding!
An Excellent Late January Day on March 3rd!
Superb Traction on the Groomed Terrain that very favourably
responded to last nights Grooming, and will Go Up Another Notch
Again for tomorrow morning. Tonights Grooming cycle should
add another incremental compaction of the Powder Snow from
over Tuesday/Wednesday’s Blizzard. The snow is so light and dry
that it needs multiple passes to achieve All-Day, Mogul resistant density.
In the mean-time, a bit more exercise to navigate the soft stuff was exactly
what was needed to keep warm after waking up to the left-overs of -32 C
last night. The temps only made it up to about -12 C at Base Level and
-16 C or so at the Summit.
Looks like a Great Day for Tomorrow, More Sun, Less “Cool” at -8C,
Sud, South, Resort Base Level, so way more User Friendly.

Our New Theme du Season...
“Tremblant, The Peak Of Eastern Skiing!”
From our Last Night Apres Ski Edit....

Last Year On This Date... Snowfall Accumulations .................285 Cm’s
Today’s Season-to-Date... Snowfall Accumulations ................435 Cm’s
Three Weeks ago, Season-to-Date... Snowfall Accumulations ...229 Cm’s
That’s Two Metres Of Snowfall at Tremblant in Three Weeks!
And Here’s what you get Miles and Miles, Kilometres after Kilometres, of today:

The current use of the popular phrase “Game Changer” to describe a Key or
Singular Significant Event that alters the outcome of any situation, barely comes
close to describing the accumulative effects of Multiple, 20, 30, 40 CM’s Snowfall
Events recently at Tremblant.
Two Metres Of Snowfall at Tremblant in Three Weeks!
For a Season that started out a wee bit slowly... all of a sudden we find ourselves
literally... “Up To Our Necks In Snow”, as the Mountain has gotten buried by such
a quickly adding total that even locals are pressed to recall any such rapid change.
"Up To Our Necks In Snow!”
This is a single pic. version of our 2 Part “Proof Of Snow” from last nights
Apres Ski. These Atomic D2 Race Sl’s are 165 CM’s(shown above on the
Corduroy Sample) and the tip of the vertical Ski into the Snow here IS BELOW
THE SURFACE, so the overall depth here is over 170 Cm’s or OVER 5, 1/2 Feet
of Drifted in Snow! Certainly, 5, 1/2 Feet would be “Up to Our Necks” for many
average people. Please also note the light, dry and very powdery qualities of the
displaced Snow from the Horizontal Ski tossed into the Powder background and the
Ski Poles that are 48 Inches.

The net effects of all this New Snow have not only Very Positively changed the
Current Conditions, perhaps even in a slightly overwhelming logistical sense,
but as we’re at March 3rd, the prospects for the upcoming “Spring” Ski Season
have also been very positively and very dramatically altered way beyond what
we would have thought possible 3 weeks or a month ago.

Tremblant has been very fortunate to have such a tremendous, quick, build-up of snow
for which conditions will be at their Peak of Refinement and Coverage. We’re Doubly
Fortunate to have all this Natural Snow Abundance over the Excellent Topography of
Tremblant as a Mountain Peak of Great Alpine Snow Sports Technical Merit. So, for
these two very happily combined reasons, right now...
Tremblant, The Peak Of Eastern Skiing!

For those dedicated Ski/Board Fans looking for where to go for maximized Mountain
Utility and Optimized Trail Maintenance and Development, we don’t think you’ll find
better potential anywhere in Eastern North America, than you can find here, now,
and for the rest of this Season, at Tremblant.

Weather Notes:
Starts out very, very kkkkool at -32 C, but warming up almost 20 degrees C
to end up under a Sunny Sky at -13 C.
Westerly winds coming up the Mountain over Taschereau and crossing towards
Lowell Thomas.
There will be perceptible Solar Energy anywhere you can find a safe, wind sheltered
Trail-Side rest spot. The Sun is actually high enough in the sky now that if there’s
no wind, you can feel direct, radiant heat.
Looking Forward...
A Mother Nature 3 Day Special on “Winter” for Friday @ -7, Saturday @ -4,
and Sunday @ -1. “Sun” currently forecast for all 3 days as well.
There’s some very normal, seasonal “warm” in the long range for mid next week,
however, we don’t think there’s anything that slight blip will do to harm the base.
There’s just way too much Snow around here to be affected by such a short
forecasted rise. Based on the Overnight Low’s, the Mountain itself should
remain mostly Sub-Zero through each night stabilizing any Thermal influence
anyway. We are after all at March now, so signs of Spring will inevitably creep
into the mix.
If you’re thinking of booking anytime into the rest of the season, we are very
confident you’ll be fine. Spring Skiing at Tremblant is always Great, and with
the depth in the base we have now, it should be all of Spring Warm with Winter
coverage, a Win-Win for Spring Ski/Board Fans!
Plus.... Statistically Speaking, there’s lots more Winter to come as well with
More Snow and lots of “Cool” to sustain these excellent surfaces.
