In addition to the Blog(excerpt noted below), Tremblant has been Sharing
these pic’s of Mountain Crews working hard at getting the foundations
for the basic Opening descents for over 2 weeks.

Over on the Beauvallon/Alpine side, this pic from 11.15.16 looks quite
well into “Winter” mode, despite the fact that clinically, there was still
over a month left in Official “Fall”.

It should be noted that these very “Skiable” conditions pic’s were taken
before the big Natural Snowfall that occurred last weekend, so what’s
been groomed in up there now should really be quite fine and very well
compacted.

Regardless of the exact amount Open tomorrow morning, what we think
you’ll find is the high standard of surface quality that has become the new
normal for virtually all of Tremblant’s initial Trail Openings.

Stay tuned...

Preliminary Opening Day 2016/17 Info.

Four out of the past five years, Tremblant has opened with
Summit-To-Base descents and in their recent Blog(excerpt below),
they have undertaken to attempt that again. After last years very warm,
dare say Hot start that only permitted the ever-faithful P’tit Bonheur/
Lowell Thomas Triple Chair circuit, this Season has all the makings
of being able to restore that Summit-To-Base Opening Day tradition,
at least from the Sub-Zero Temps and obvious Natural Snow covering
the entire region.

Here is an excerpt from Tremblant's late October Blog entry introducing
the start of this seasons Snowmaking:

We feel that the best possibility may be at least Versant Nord, North Side
Summit-To-Base, however, monitoring the Web Cams at the bottom of
Johannsen indicates there is still a fair degree of fill-in yet to occur.
In fairness, the Web Cam views may not be showing all the snow
present, and there are still many hours between now and tomorrow
morning that could see that terrain more extensively developed. The
Nord/North Base Web Cam has been off-line for many weeks, so we
really don’t know the scope of coverage there yet.

However.... In a F/B Social Media post, at just around noon today,
a Tremblant Guest asks how many Trails will be Open for Friday and the
Official Response is 4 Trails, Half Mountain, and by the end of the weekend,
7 Trails, but... there is no specification confirming Summit-To-Base at the time
of this posting, and on up to about 2:30 P.M. on Wed., Nov. 23, 1016.

Tremblant goes on to say that the minimum Opening should include
Beauvallon, Alpine, La Crete, and P’tit Bonheur, so by extension that
would mean Up/Down-load on Gondola and using TGV Quad, and Lowell
Thomas Triple for lift circuits.

Of Course... There are many potential circumstances that we are not aware
of that may be affecting Opening Day Terrain availability, and ultimately we
will need an Official Tremblant.ca Snow Report Update to confirm.

Historically, Tremblant has produced a Preliminary Snow Report in advance
some years, but the real proof will be in tomorrow mornings first Official
Snow Report of the season that usually gets posted on Tremblant.ca
at around 5:30 A.M.


This page is under all day evolutionary construction until such time as
any Official information is published. For more on the Chronology of this
seasons startup, goto our “Tremblant Geographic” section from the Forum
Index and you can scroll through the Fall 2016 relevant topics for additional Info.

We will do a separate 11/24/16 Mountain Conditions Opening Day topic/page
when we have access to the Official Snow Report on Opening Day Morning.
