102/102(*) Open Trails on all 4 Sectors at #Tremblant .
In addition to all our hopes and wishes for performance
and quality coming true yesterday, and we think they will all
be durable again today...
It’s “Fly Under The Radar”, Day-2...?
The reason we say that, with all due respect, is that there is
a bit of a data entry glitch on the Official Trail Status PDF,
and if you are a keen explorer, you’ll get a surprise bonus
of very real groomed trail refinement excellence that is not
indicated on the list today, as was also the case yesterday.

Look closely at the trail edge, just above and behind the Ski Tails
shown above. That is indeed “Corduroy”, lines of grooming that
are still clearly visible at last run. In a way, we’re sort-of happy
this trail, as well as #64, next door, “MCA” are not shown, because
if the skiing public knew how technically excellent these two trails
actually are, they might not be in quite the same shape that they
are while “Flying Under The Radar”???
The reality is that these two trails(#’s 64,65) which we use as primary diagnostic
indicators of both sector and total Mountain refinement levels, are exquisite
for Front-Side Carvers, and they are currently so easy and forgiving, that
a confident Intermediate with basic “Snowplow” and “Hockey Stop”
navigational skills would find them almost easy, and certainly very doable.
So then, the extended reason these two trails(#’s 64,65) that are so small
in comparative square area, are so hugely important, is that they reflect
the health and quality that everything else is already at, and that Mountain
Crews have both the time and the abundance of natural snow resources to
warrant this very high level of total Mountain refined trail development.
Notwithstanding the technical excellence of the Skiing...
The scenery here is pure Tremblant Snow White Winter Magic
and if you take moments for safe trail-side stops, Mother Nature will
present you with memories of spectacular, yet quiet beauty, that are
impossible to forget.

As a further compliment to all the merits of the Trail #’s 64/65 today,
and in last night’s Apres Ski reporting, we can add another significant
asset to these specific descent lines with the following pic showing the
exit chute out to Lowell Thomas Bas, Lower, Trail #67, having been
groomed as well. This section has typically been a bottle-neck and
is often prone to natural hazards, but now, in very fine, fully finished
condition, making this final sector runout quite easy for a change.

(^)Please Note: This trail does not actually have an Official name or
number. We have called it Le Chute for years just so our friends know
it’s location when discussed. Similarly, the runout zone from Trails # 64/65/66
that also does not have an Official Trail name or number, we call it “La Ravine”,
for the same conversational/locational reference purposes.We stand to be
corrected if there are official names that are not on the trail map.
Photography Caveat: Fine, misty cloud particulate and flat, low contrast
light are not ideal for any image capture. No camera known could ever
come close to the etherial beauty of the almost spooky, ghost-like grey
tones within these scenes included in todays post. If you’ve been here,
you may understand. if you’ve not been here, you might not believe it
until you arrive.
All Skill Levels, All Technique Styles, the high degree of forgiveness
in all the currently groomed trails makes nearly anything possible for
those with the repertoire who can apply their talents anywhere here
at Tremblant now. The surfaces are soft enough to facilitate a skidded
parallel turn style, but firm enough to be completely reliable for a hard
charging carving style where lateral grip retained could be measured in
centrifugal G-force if you have the muscle to pull it off. Amazing versatility
is what you get all day, and across all terrain Skill ratings.

Weather Notes:
Supposed to be sunny, but so-far, it’s definitely cloud-fog overcast.
There is a certain degree of brightness overhead, so we may see
the sun soon, but it still looks kind of thick?

Conditions Notes:
There is still a tremendous cold reserve in the Groomed Trail substrates
and we think that can go on for days, maybe even weeks, if the overnight
lows continue to be nicely Sub-Zero C’s
We only experienced one minor icy bit yesterday which was
just over the first crest of Trail # 68, “Rope Tow” where
evidently, the recent full facing East wind that directly hit
that spot has had an effect. There is a high probability that
may be gone with last nights grooming, but is is also possible
there may be other similar zones, if wind exposure was present.
Our Sous Bois explorations show there are still untracked powder
lines from the big snow 5 days ago although most of the popular
and most easily accessible descent lines are very well mogul’d now.
We hope to have more on that untracked part, later at Apres Ski.
Generally, we’re back to where “Average Is Excellent”.

Absolutely worth every single ounce of effort
you can make to be out on these prime winter
covered slopes. Fabulous fun on technically
optimized groomed slopes or Sous Bois/Glades
with TON’s of fresh snow. Tremblant has all
terrain ranges and skill levels covered and if
you can be here, you’d be CRAZY to miss it!
