88(*) Open Trails on the Increasingly Refined(**) Slopes Of #Tremblant.
If you consider “Eastern North America” as a “Region”,
then the Big Weather News is also the Big News, News.
Last night’s 11:00 P.M. Late Eve. Television Broadcast News
Headline across all Networks was:
“70,000,000 People Living in the Eastern Half Of North America
are going to be effected by the current Weather Storm System
that is moving from West to East across the Continent Now.”
Massive amounts of Snowfall are predicted to fall on a line
that runs from West to East, basically parallel to the St. Lawrence
River, however the dimensions of the width and intensity are not
yet completely evident.
Current forecast models suggest the Quebec/Vermont Border
could see the heaviest intensity with up to 70cm’s of snow possible
in this single event.
By all current accounts, Tremblant will be within the Snowfall Zone,
but on the Northern extremity, so the likelihood is that there will
an accumulation of between 20 to 30cm’s, large enough, just not
the huge concentration forecast for the most active centre band to
the south.
Within the past 12 hour forecast period, the range of projected snowfall
anticipated for Tremblant by Wednesday has varied between
4cm’s to 30cm's and the 30cm’s part is the latest version, supported
by the attached Graphic, so for the benefit of Ski/Board conditions,
we’d be pretty pleased with that.

Seasonally Speaking, Tremblant has all the benefits of accumulated
Groomed-in Natural Snow Strata from a statistically way above
average snowfall of the early to mid-season that has been easily
capable of surviving the various winter thaw periods.
Basically, every time it’s snowed, since mid-November, the snow has
been packed into the base and regardless of how the snow in the trees
or bush look, that has almost nothing to do with the retained thickness
of the groomed base. That highly compressed and very dense base has
been thaw-resitant due to the underlaying frost into the Mountain,
acting as a reserve refrigerant, from the bottom up.
Additionally, after the last warm spell,
and notwithstanding the recent cool spell...
(**)Stable, 24Hr. Sub-Zero, Consecutive Days at Tremblant have
yielded incremental refinements that have increased overall
surface consistency and reduced Icy bits, so the technical
quality of the Ski/Board experience is Very Fine, and on a
daily, upward escalating scale.
This last “Cold Snap” of 4 days has effectively “Reset” the Frost level
into the Mountain, so all the immediate circumstances are showing
continued favour for the durable quality of both base and surfaces
moving forward with not only the potential of this Snow Event, but
any future late winter Snowfalls and the eventual onset of Spring.
