We have written extensively about the positive attributes of not only
the above pictured Versant Nord/North Side trail # 66, Le Tunnel, but
preceding that, the adjacent within this sector trails, # 65 Banzai, and
# 64 Marie-Claude Asselin.
For Those New To Tremblant:
For locational reference, below is a photo taken from the opposite side
of the ravine these trails converge to end on. It is augmented by an
Official Tremblant Trail Map excerpt, and annotated with labelling info.
(The top pic above was taken in the middle of the trail, exactly beside
the white circle with recorded number “66” in it.)(**)

We refer to these three pictured as “The Canaries In The Coal Mine”,
because they are not supported by snowmaking and rely completely
on the abundance of natural snowfall to first open, then secondly, get
grooming.
This is not a high traffic volume sector and many Ski Holiday persons
may never see these trails as they are not directly connected to the
major boulevard descents, however, when they are groomed as they
are now, they are almost “Easy” for confident supervised Intermediates,
and up, Skill Levels, not to mention the spectacularly scenic vistas you
get when descending anywhere along their vertical pathways. For the
bushwhacking Sous Bois/Glades/Hors Piste Expert Fans, there are “TONS”
of surrounding au natural, deep snow, so this whole area now has a
very wide range of Skill Level utility. Please review the preceding days in
this record for more info. on this sector.
(**)Observers here may notice that the Trail-Map is not completely
accurate in the way it shows the side-by-side orientation of these
descents, as the lower half’s of MCA and Banzai diverge, and the
run-out of Banzai and base of Le Tunnel converge, at different
angles than mapped. Please note this observation is not criticism
and the functional utility of the map artwork is not effected. On the
ground, the runout of Marie-Claude Asselin does better suit navigation
to Duncan due to both its descent angled proximity and a topographical
crown in the centre of the ravine that necessitates a short uphill traverse
to get to the Lowell Thomas side. For Snowboarders, this typically requires
a foot out to get from MCA, over to Lowell T.
Otherwise:
Yesterdays “Partially Sunny” never really materialized, but the full spectrum of
Winter Alpine Snow Sport conditions are inclusively evident no matter what
the variable weather factors may be, so we think it’s safe to say that everyone
could find enjoyment within all respective Skill Levels.
Certainly the return to much warmer temperatures made it a lot easier
to be outside for the whole day and the biggest challenge in that sense
was the need for a bit of wind-proofing if you were stationary for long
at the Summit.
Riding the lifts occasionally put you in the face of the wind, however
coming up the Soleil Quad with all the wind at your back seemed as
if you were in a calm bubble where you could hear and see its effects
all around you, but never on you.
The overwhelmingly positive generality is the quality of the groomed
terrain that offers everyone from Beginners to Experts with near-ideal
trail surfaces that allow individuals to explore personal development
on a reliable, virtually glitch free foundations across all Green, Blue and
Black rated terrain.

What Mother Nature has added into the mix over the past several days is
a higher than average inherent speed which most will perceive of as
enhanced glide, or very little resistance when traversing plateaus or
keeping speed on shallower slope angles.
Weather Notes:
Very pleasant temps with freshly falling snow are always
a great combination, so today holds great promise for
beautiful conditions to be outside all day for. The long range
outlook does show a generally warm trend, but so-far, at
Mountain elevations it looks quite favourable for keeping
below Zero C and all snow. Plan accordingly Regional
Tremblant Ski/Board Fans!

Conditions Notes:
In the Groomed:
98% near-ideal compaction of all-snow surfaces for
consistent wall-to-wall, top-to-bottom, reliable performance
within all respective Skill Level terrain ratings.
The density that facilitates the highest levels of grip wants
good edges to hold that grip, otherwise, centrifugal turning
force can overcome lateral energy and you may perceive that
as slickness, but we did not see or feel so much as a speck
of ice ourselves and our edge tune is well over 10 days now
so we still consider virtually all of the groomed surfaces to be
very forgiving. That sensitivity will be most noticeable on either
steeper pitches, or with greater speed, so consequently you should
avoid high speeds on steep pitches for optimal control.
In the Un-groomed:
In the Sous Bois, Glades, Hors Piste, conditions are very good
to excellent. Some of the really popular zones that are getting
the most traffic do show some hazards between the bumps, so
caution with speed is necessary, however if you find an area that
you’re happy to do multiple descents on, it’s still pretty easy to find
clear lines, especially towards the trail-edge boundaries. In the Mogul
Zones, same thing applies. It’s been several days now since the last
big snowfall, so overall, it’s the difference between being carefree
and careful.
There is one specific hazard zone that we’ve had multiple feedbacks
on now, and that is the off-load zone of the Soleil Quad where somehow,
sharp rocky debris has appeared in the base over the past several days.
We understand that Mountain Crews are working on it, but until they
get that corrected, the best way or thing we have observed to do is go
straight ahead off the chair as far as you can towards the control booth
before turning left. If you have any such specific issues of concern, we
always recommend you contact/consult Customer Service at the Summit,
Sud/Nord Bases, or on-line. Our experience with them is that they are
completely supportive on an individual case-by-case basis, so you should
never hesitate to contact them personally.
