T360 Midnight Apres Ski Edit @ 12:12 A.M.

Very Few People(Other Than Those
We Personally Know Skiing Today),
Will Believe Us When We Tell You
How Good, and How Much Fun
The Skiing Was On A Day Most
Would Stay Indoors On...

Surfaces were a combination of Fine and Course
Machine Generated Granular that included the
shredded Freezing Rain Crust on the “Course” side.

(Please Note Above: Yellow Lens Industrial Safety Glasses
for use on warm wet days when goggles fog up. Purchased
for 7 dollars on sale at any hardware store, they restore
contrast, surface detail and brightness to near-sunlight quality
and are fog-resitant because of unimpeded air-flow. It’s already
warm out so you don’t need the goggles face-seals that
trap moisture and cause the fogging.)

In the Top-Of-Page P’tit Bonheur shot, the Skis are
placed over a section of this “Course”, larger size particle,
which is illustrated in a close-up detail below. Please Note
that the Skis were not moved from the top shot for this
one below.

The amazing part is that Skiing over these surfaces was no different
than it was over the “Fine”(as in Small) size particle, and P’tit Bonheur,
like most of Tremblant today, was fabulous fun over every single square inch,
regardless of the particle size underfoot.


About 90% of the Skiing Public get freaked out by
more than 6 Raindrops, but the reality is, the Skiing
today had large tracts of Excellent Carving and Superb
Smoothness.


Below: Beauchemin Bas, Lower, was a prime example of
truly high performance carving and a simultaneous easy
learning environment.

When the Smoothness so apparent above is combined
with the Carving Grip so apparent below, what you have
is an outstanding and very easy performance level that
is also quite forgiving due to the Spring Temp Softness.

Tomorrow is supposed to start much like today, however the Afternoon is
forecast to be Rain-Free by shortly after noon, so that means that if the
Skiing is similar, but with Atmospheric “Dry”, there is significant potential
for an Excellent and dry afternoon.

It’s going to be a quiet day on the Mountain. For those that are here
on a booked Ski Holiday and venture out, the Skiing and Boarding will
actually be fine! Clinically Speaking, most of these damp days have
remarkably fast and easy surfaces that can also be forgiving in the
sense that the top layers are soft enough to yield quickly and little
mistakes get absorbed without edges catching or loss of balance.
For others, it will be a day to go to the Spa or hang around the Chalet
watching Classic Movies...

Weather Notes:

Pretty much obvious, the Mountain is Open, the Skiing will
actually be fun if you can get by the wet weather with the
proper Poncho, and Yellow Lens Safety Glasses.
Remember, it’s already warm out, so you don’t need Goggles
and Yellow Lens safety glasses allow air circulation that prevents
fogging and restores the Contrast to your vision on any very grey,
flat light day.

Please Note: The Rain Icons are Small which usually means
the active precipitation falls in bands that traverse the area,
so there can be sectors that are completely dry at any given time.

Mountain User Utility Notice:

The Performance Characteristics of Skis/Board in Spring Conditions
can include reduced “Glide” due to what feels and acts like suction
with these levels of surface moisture. “Glide” can be retained to variable
degrees by using appropriate “Warm” Temp Range Base Waxes or other
Hydrophobic(water repelling) Coatings.

Goto: The Ski Shop at Chalet des Voyageurs, Versant Sud, South Side,
At Cabriolet Base, P1 Level, and talk with the Expert Staff there about
optimizing your Skis/Board for these and any conditions.

:) Bring Back The Memories... :arrow: Research Future Visits...
If you would like to look up dates you visited Tremblant, or you
want to research days/weeks/months to visit, you can sample what
they look like historically, month by month, year by year.

GoTo: Archive, Search Reports by Date: Index: http://tinyurl.com/yktelmu

When reviewing dates from any of the past, numbered, archived pages,
you can use the "Previous Topic" or "Next Topic" buttons, located
screen far right, in upper date/message bar to scroll through sequential
dates, or use your browsers "back" button to stay on the selected index
page for non-sequential date reviews in either forward or reverse order.


There are approximately 6, 25 day Index pages per season.

( :idea: If you "Bookmark" the link above, it will always take you to the
First index page with the latest posts. That gives you an immediate,
current to 25 day past, review scroll of Winter Alpine Conditions by
consecutive date.)
